Not me though. Never. I could understand living in the burbs of another city. Some are quite scenic and offer many opportunites for outdoor activities, etc. Not the Chicago burbs. No hills. Shitty traffic. Overpriced farmland.

I'm fully aware of the gentrification taking place on the near north side, the near west side and the near south side. All the yuppie sinlgles and dinks want condos and townhomes close enough to the Loop to walk to work. But then, with the prices they're paying for them, they need to be close to work to put in the hours.
I didn't move out of the city to get away from the colored folks. I moved to the burbs because I like them. Now I have even more reason to be here because I work out here. But it never had anything to do with white flight.
