The idea that people who live in suburbs, with their driveways and their backyards and spacious quarters, can't live in neighbourhoods is a fallacy. The problem isn't that people don't like urban life, it's that it is impossible to build neighbourhoods in suburban areas because of strict zoning/land-use codes.

People currently have to pick between a neighbourhood feel (osborne village, corydon, wolseley, etc.) or suburbs. Why can't you build a suburb with a neighbourhood feel?
