Hmmm. Cities = Democrat leanings... Suburbs = Republican leaning...
Hey let's come up with a reason to make more cities!!!

Correction..........Crushing debt makes you sick. If you buy a house and finance $150,000 of it, demand two new cars and finance them, then live in fear of the items you had to have, well that's no surprise.

funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation After having seen the word "obesity" earlier in the article, the source of funding came as absolutely NO surprise to me.

"To improve our health, the study suggests that we should build cities where people feel comfortable walking and are not so dependent on cars," said Deborah Cohen, another Rand researcher who lives in that region of the Twilight Zone reserved for clueless academics.

Commuting leaves you too tired to exercise - or do much of anything else on wweknights.

I agree with you here.

Ok, let's recap. These guys say no drinking, no smoking, no fatty foods, no living in suburbs. What next!?

I grew up in the country (literally a swamp)...
I have lived in a city and felt I would die from the trapped feeling.
I lived in the suburbs and felt less trapped, but I still felt crowded and was freaked at the total loss of privacy.
I moved back to the swamp, drive into the city to work, then return home to be has happy as I was when I was a kid.

Actually, you can see Bill O'Reilly's house from here...that's Levittown circa 1952.

Living in the suburbs may have once been part of the American dream but it can lead to nightmares such as high blood pressure, arthritis and headaches, researchers reported on Monday. Living in big cities can lead to gunshot wounds.

To: Mr. Jeeves
When I lived in a city, I found endless energy after work. I had plenty of time to tend to my garden, feed my animals, make wine, make grape jam, brew my beer, tend to my bee hives, teach my kids how to cook meals over a campfire in the front yard, stare up at the stars, go sledding, horseback riding, and so on........
But of course doing any of those things in the inner city is not permissible. So I guess I'll take the stress.

Let's not give them any more "bright" ideas.
As far as I am concerned outfits such as RWJF are a menace to society, and particularly to free enterprise and the "American Dream."

I'd rather live in the suburbs of the United States than anywhere else on earth. I'd rather live in my 100 year old, non-suburban residential area (also conveniently located in the United States) than in a suburb. Life is far more relaxed where I am. It's just a fact of life.
