As to the asinine statement of cities being where people should live.
People should be able to live wherever the hell they want and can
afford! That's choice and that's freedom. Don't you DARE condescend to
think that you know what's best for everyone else! If a family has the
means to, they can and should live wherever they want that works for
them.
For about a decade, my dad had a house next to an airstrip out in the country and a Cessna 150 he used to fly to and
from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex (30-40 minutes of flight tops). He kept a car parked at a small airport within the city limits for when he wanted to visit someone or had business that had to be taken care of in person. His age finally made it impossible for him to pass the stringent medical to keep his pilots license. (I'd trust him to fly even now, but 'technically' his health isn't reliable enough for the feds. He's ok with where he lives at present. But he hates the traffic and he still misses being able to fly on his own. My brother has a pilots license so they still go up. Believe me - my brother is NOT the pilot on those flights, that's just window dressing in case some nosy FAA investigator comes sniffing around.)
Gonna tell my dad he was violating some 'natural law' that people should live in the cities?
