Young people want to live in cities because they are scared of real life. They want their favorite little bistro to be within walking distance. They want easy access to clubs and drugs. They are just plain scared of having to do anything on their own besides walk or bike to their graphic designer job.

Plus, I hear tell there are scary Republican rednecks out in the sticks. Some of those folks even have guns and...*Gulp*...Bibles!

i am a graphics designer (specifically a technical illustrator which is a different thought process) and i like the idea of things within walking distance. i can walk to park, library, book store, 8 restaurants, 2 food stores and 4 liquor stores and i live in the burbs. living someplace where i had to drive 30 minutes to get to the food store would cause me to have a paradigm shift in my living and thought process. not right or wrong just is. i take 2 classes and i think at least half of each class would freak if they knew i was sitting in class with a GLOCK 19 and 3 mags on me.

sorry i'm just goofing with you but i do understand your stereotype of graphic designers and it is true.
