To my point they don't have to live exclusively in suburbs or cities. Exurbs, towns, villages, acreages, boonies, entirely off-grid, etc are all options. There's a whole world out there--it's pretty mind-blowing if you've never ventured beyond suburbs before.

There is of course scope for a wide variety of living situations, but aside from cities and suburbs, there is no way to accommodate a large percentage of the population. Yes, I have ventured outside of the suburbs.

How did we get from "I want to move out of my city and be closer to nature" to "good luck finding a place that can accommodate a large percentage of the population"?
