Do people move to the suburbs to escape what they feel is violence?

[Deja Q]

Then why do the !&@^ers act like the road systems are for themselves only?

It's increasingly worse where I live; people not obeying the signs or feeling it's their turn at stop-sign intersections when it sure as hell ain't...

1. I always felt they moved to the suburbs...especially the new ones

made up of McMansions that will foreclose on them, to feel as if they have "arrived". The road systems by our "new suburbs" are so backed up with the Jones's that I think they threw out all the conventional rules of the road in order to get where they are going. :hi:

2. Bingo.

The city's greed to make an area look likely yet not pre-emptively deal with traffic problems. How these numbnuts get elected, and stay elected, is beyond me.

But then, since when was America a thoughtful society? :crazy:

3. Something wrong with moving to the suburbs?

I would rather live somewhere that is clean and nice to look at than to live in an eyesore near downtown. Whats hard to understand about that? You aren't suggesting only conservatives live in the suburbs are you?

[Deja Q]

5. What's hard to understand is why people won't improve their communities,

instead moving away to be just as degrading elsewhere?

I thought people cared about improving their environment and neighborhoods? Nope. Just drive farther distances in their big SUVs. It seems those commercials and news snippets are a load of bunk.

Also, why are you point fingers at me suggesting I'm pre-labelling anybody?! I'm not saying conservatives live anywhere. They can be found everywhere too. Hell, I didn't suggest that suburbs are all repuke all the time. So don't put words into my mouth either.

4. My office is in an expanding suburb and the people

make me crazy with the way they drive. The feeling it's their turn at
the stop-sign intersection if one of the things making me crazy and they also pull out into traffic and make you come to a complete stop when you have the right-of-way.
