    I grew up in Rural so I definitely don’t see the appeal of moving away from the city.

    All kinds of shops, public transit, cheaper shipping rates most of the time. It’s like everybody suddenly became allergic to walking.

      Most of all jobs. If it wasn’t for that, I’d move back.

      However, I agree with the writer, apartments are the easiest living space to afford. Limiting apartment building limits the choices of those that have little money. I’m not saying the cheapest, since the value of properties tend to increase, but the one requiring the least money.

      That being said, the ones complaining about new apartments are mostly people living in other apartments… At least here.

      As for city vs rural… That’s something of an age question, as well.
