Snobs of the people

A discussion of high gas prices and commutes leads Freepers to discuss the suburbs. They love them!

First, to show you that this is indeed a Free Republic thread, we have Diana in Wisconsin
“Liberals secretly love higher gas prices.”

They like anything that hurts Joe Six-Pack. Eventually he will be financially ruined due to their policies and will have to depend upon Mother Government for sustenance. Jerks.


And we have arthurus to top off the phony populism:
[Liberals] are publicly delighted.They think it is
going to force the rest of us onto public transportation and curtail our
mobility and will give them more space on the street for their Volvos and BMWs.

And then...tsmith130

So, we could see a country of smaller cities, which would probably be
the ideal.

Otherwise known as 'the suburbs'.

Yeah, suburbs are awesome! Who needs character in where they live? Bland conformity for all!

Gorzaloon puts a somewhat finer point on it:

Decades ago, EMPLOYERS fled the corrupt, filthy cities and built industrial parks and campuslike corporate headquarters out where people LIVED.

They keep trundling out the Wonderful Workers' Paradise idea of living in urban rat cages and projects.

They can CALL them Upscale Gentrification all they want. I visited my brother's really expensive NYC apartment years ago when he lived there.


I'd rather die.



"I'd rather die." That's not eliteist at all. And that's the nut of this post.

So even as Freepers say they defend the lower class while liberals are always trying to stick it to Joe Six-Pack. But clearly, they look down on these proles. Live near those people? I'd rather die
