I agree wholeheartedly with you; like you I'm a proud suburbanite who can't tolerate cities, noise, and people, and to that I'll add one thing...

> Amazingly, non white people feel this way too...

On this note, almost the entire Asian population of the Dallas area lives in the suburbs, and those who can afford it are starting to move to the exurbs. Only people without the means to leave are staying in the city because the city sucks.

This article is about a city that doesn't suck, largely because it was made car-free. Not much "noise" when cars are gone.

It's a town with a population of 90k. It wouldn't suck either way.

Almost none of the noise issues I experienced while living in the city was from automobiles.

People make noise. People shouting in the streets, nearby festivals, etc. I don't like people, and there's no such thing as a dense city that doesn't suck for me.
