Edit: of course this is satire. The power of the reading comprehension devil grows stronger every day 😢

      I think it is a few things and mostly centered on raising a family. I also think its lame but these are the reasons as I see them.

      • They tend to have good schools

      • They have front/back yards for children to play

      • The buildings are physically separated so the chance you hear your neighbors is low

      • The neighborhoods are much more quite

      • The neighborhoods have low crime

        Did i really need to add an /s? I thought the quotation marks were a clear enough indicator.

        People want older suburbs because they’re planned to be walkable

          Asking a very regular question, getting an answer, and then being sassy and saying “that was sarcasm”

          Lol, your head just disappeared up your own ass.

            You know you can just say “i misread that comment”. You’re allowed to do that.

            You don’t have to abuse people. That’s a choice you made

              Yeah, their response was unnecessarily caustic. Your reply was reasonable and I understood the intention of the original comment from the quotation marks.

              I see no indication that they missed the sarcasm.

              I also think it’s lame

              The “also” meaning that they believe you also think it’s lame.

              Edit: Oh, I just realized the post-war suburbs are the walkable ones. That makes more sense.
