people in the burbs don't want to pay more in taxes because it will take food out of the mouth of their canine family members. Whenever I drive through the horrible suburban landscapes through the Midwest I am appalled at how ugly the new buildings are and how nothing matches the street. Stores can be fifty feet to two hundred feet right next to each other and there is absolutely no encouragement for people to get out of cars and walk. The only time you see people in the burbs walking is when they have to take their useless dogs out and have them piss and shit. I was in Oak Park recently on one of the last nice days of the season and there were so many people walking dogs. A town with alot of dog walkers is also an indication of an inequal area as wealthier people are more able to be able to afford dogs compared to people in the hood. Oak park paranoid assholes also want dogs being next to the hood as well.
oak park is like a lot of white suburban spoiled rotten towns in that everybody has a God dam dog. Ninety percent of the people you see not in their automobile in the carcentric burbs will only be out walking a dog or stroller. You rarely see just somebody using foot traffic to get from point to point.
The suburbs are falling so back when compared to the city and all the amneties that urban living have to offer. There are no cultural events in the burbs unless you count the three dramas that your local high school might offer. When the only entertainment the suburbs offer is walking your dam pet you know this lifestyle and living arrangements future is in doubt and hopefully will be totally diminished with rising gasoline prices in the future.
