Because no matter how many times I write it that I am not talking about the city, I am talking about slightly different suburbs than the prevailing model, people feel the need to explain to me that not everyone likes the city. I know!
Since reading comprehension can't be that poor, I assume that some people just lack the model. They don't know what I'm talking about because they haven't seen it. So, I'm talking about places like Narberth, where once you get a couple blocks away from the main street it's suburban, just not typical 1990s-era suburban.
