There are seldom trees that are 7 or 8 floors high in urban areas, AWalkerInTheCity. I don't think that leads to a debate of quality of life in urban areas though. You're advocating for a lifestyle. I'm not. Jazzy's initial comment was not anti-urban nor was it about the suburbs. It asked for discussion of life in mid-rise buildings that are prominent in this region.

Likewise, I'm not pitting suburbs against urban areas (nor am I against "urbanism"). This region has both and they often work together to make this region greater and more complete with services and opportunities. There are even several areas where the line between suburban and urban lifestyles are blurred.

I made a few trips to the Little River Turnpike area during the outages. I saw the power out along most of it for days. I don't know if you were in one of the older single family homes in large neighborhoods far from Little River Turnpike or townhomes or apartments near it (all of which are served by overhead lines), but I am willing to acknowledge some portions of Annandale are relatively dense and provide ammenities to the point that they reflect urban life more than suburban life. Likewise, buses run on Little River Turnpike regularly.
