Reply #58: if people can afford it their choice [View All]

[rebecca_herman]

Personally I would never choose to live in an apartment or condo if I had any way to afford any house, even if it had to be a tiny house, in the suburbs for the quiet and privacy. I'm currently living in my parents' home while finishing school and specifically chose a school near home to avoid dorm life. I've lived in houses in suburbs my whole life. I like having privacy and having one's own lawn. And I'm very sensitive to sound and a poor sleeper so I'm glad I don't have other people's noises above/below/next to me to make it worse. Once I'm out on my own I'll live in whatever house I can afford in a quiet area, even if it's a shack, to me it's better than an apartment for the privacy and quiet. City life doesn't appeal to me. I like the quiet here. I'd like my future children to have their own nice backyard to play in. That's my preference and if I can afford it I will have it...
