I recently drove through this neighborhood, and would have to agree with about 99% of what is said. I was astonished on how everything all looked the same, beige houses, beige suv's, and all white people, and if you go to the top of chatfield resevoir and look down you see just what he's stating a sea of shit houses, and those people whom live there are very rude and impatient... I do not see what is so attractive about living there

pronatalist, shut up and get off youtube, obviously you are mentally retarded or trying to piss people off. You always try to get in an argument with someone. If you can't figure out that 12 kids is unsustainable then your an uneducated idiot. Your arguments for increased population are complete stupidity because more people = more environmental problems and lower quality of life. I don't want to live in the kind of world you envision with more people, your wasting your time arguing.

I grew up in the suburb next to Highlands Ranch, called Centennial. Everything this guy said is spot-on, other than the part about the weed. The weed in colorado is all pretty good.

I couldn't agree more with the person in the video. I was raised in the suburbs. My parents thought it was a great place to raise children. So as a result of being bored to death and no place to go until we were able to drive, my brother and I started smoking pot in the backyard. My childhood memories are limited to staring at the back of the front seats of my parents' car. Because we were always stuck in traffic. I live in Lincoln Park, Chicago now. Love it. My life doesn't depend on cars.

I was a town planner for 10 years. During this time I realized that town planners do not do what they studied to do. At university we were taught about REDUCING urban sprawl via ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE "alternatives" etc etc. When I worked for a government department my world was turned upside down. I realized the reality of town planning - namely "facilitating" a "false economy" via developers manipulating councils through donations and government giving them first preference in return.

(cont.) wigger! He actually pulled off the look with some credibility and authenticity, and there are people of all colors (including some blacks) who cannot pull off the look, which tells me that he was a working class white kid.

@lordblazer That would be great to have here in America, but greedy interests are intellectually dishonest enough to present their own sources as the one and only way. Such greed has adverse ramifications for the environment too. As for the senator saying that it is completely unacceptable, I don't care if it is Oklahoma. Even here I've seen a white lady roll up her windows and locked every door when seeing a group of Latino kids crossing the street. Another lady did the same even to a
