[quote=AN]I myself never wanted to live in the city and I can say with a certainty that I never will want to in the future. One of my favorite hobby (cars) prevent me from wanting to live in a city with no garage. Ideally, I would get a place with 4 car garage if not 6. When I retire, I want to get a garage tall enough to put in a lift. I also get claustrophobic when I’m in cities like SF. Chicago is not so bad, since the streets are wide. Every time I have to go there for work, can’t wait to get out of that city. You can’t pay me to live there. I like my space and elbow room and the city does not have that option for me. On top of those two factors, there are very little choices in term of ethnic supermarkets.[/quote]
I had the dream of having a house built on top of a underground parking level, with a lift. Unfortunately, CA has earthquakes.
