>This is exactly why I have always lived in the city.<
Well, that’s your choice. The city in which I was born is now totally controlled by Democrats. I’m in an outlying county (12 miles or so from town, so I’m not that far in the sticks) and my family more than saves enough in taxes to make up for increased energy costs.
If you want to live in a Democrat hellhole, go for it. Mine is to live where I’m governed by like-minded people.
Then that’s fine. I’m not criticizing suburbs, I’m criticizing people who think they’re entitled to cheap gas.
