Sorry for your loss, Dilbert. Suicide is an awful way to lose someone. So much potential lost.

Sorry about your son. I am sure he was a wonderful person just like his father. Hope your family pulls through this. Take care.Canin wrote:
Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of my sons death. I still wonder if he would be here had I reacted a little quicker, or called 911 as soon as I saw him fall to his knees. Instead, I thought he might be choking on a piece of gum and tried to clear his air way first... I can still see the EMTs working on him in the field, trying their best to save him, and wish I could have done something more.

People need to realise that they need to leave early. Those guys in Canada are very fortunate they got away when they really have left it to too late. Evidence shown with the fatal road crashes during the panic to escape. You really can't see very far in front of you and once you're caught in the open you're as good as dead. Make a plan, follow it.
Goddamn it, PBS. Keeps breaking into this very interesting Chicago architecture program with their pledge drive. They're playing hardball.

Forest fires don't wipe out homes in urban places. If only they lived in a place with more concrete and less trees.

All I am saying is that people should not live in the forest or near one.

Let's all start at the same scale before we compare vicinity to trees shall we?
There's a tree in my front yard, and in the backyard.
I've planted nine trees since I bought my house

There are a lot of serious reasons to move into more urban areas. Suburbs and big houses are a waste of resources. I mean on a society level and not on a personal one like Jay is about to say.
Urbanists are the worst.

Running power and sewage lines as well as roads out to the suburbs are such a waste. You burn so much gas driving to the Walmart or Target. Then they waste so much water on their lawns.
It's better to raise my family in an environment where everyone is transient and there are no personal connections? Is it better to have my kids play on the sidewalk or on my grass? I lived in Queens for 6 years and while my commute was unbeatable, my quality of life wasn't ever going to be the same as it is now. Piling people on top of each other in close quarters is dehumanizing. Living in a city is fine in your 20s, it's new and exciting and there's things to do and see every day. If you look at the people that are still living in the city into their 40s and 50s, they're all really fucking weird and neurotic.SuperJail Warden wrote:

What makes you think people don't build personal connections in cities?
I don't live in the suburbs. My city has a population density of 11,000 people per square mile.
