I want my own backyard so that I can go and enjoy sitting by a fire with music I like without ever needing to worry that I might have to compete with others on a cool Friday night in Autumn.
I want my own driveway so that I can go play basketball whenever I feel like, without needing to feel pressured to play nice with others.
I want my own car so that I can drive to and from work in peace, and so that I can do whatever I want in my car, like smoke a cigar. What's the likelihood that my friendly neighborhood ride sharing service will let me do that? Zero. My car is just about the only place left I can smoke in Massachusetts when I'm not at home, and I'm happy to pay for that privilege.
Even if I were OK with all of that, there are numerous dubious claims made in this article about how this new style of living would benefit the environment and would presumably save people from flooding. Really? Would it? How did you figure that? Or does it just sound like it makes sense?
Many signs point to me being stranger than my generational cohorts, but I like the suburbs precisely because I viscerally dislike living in shared spaces.
