Exactly. I generally like people who are eccentrics because they generally think for themselves. Have you ever met an eccentric person living in the suburbs? Honestly, anyone, have you?

There's a lot of generalising going on in this thread.

I was born in a housing estate so naturally i'm an uneducated chav who goes around vandalising , burgling & causing trouble.

Sorry. Ive just heard people make that assumption for real to many times for it to be funny anymore. It just kind of pissed me off. My bad. Oh, and of course we are not. We're most definately not the smartest.

Also, yeah thats pretty much true in some cases, but not in others.

I think a lot of them are pretty well educated, but they're definitely not the smartest.

I am just grateful to have a roof over my head and live in relative peace.

I don't think i'v ever met a properly eccentric person in the first place. Its a bit of a myth.

I generally like everyone, so I don't pay too much attention to where they live. I just think the term "planned community" sounds odd, and even though I don't care for stereotypes, I will say that most of the people there think and act alike. It's not necessarily bad, but it is bland at times.

I prefer living in areas where there are many ethnic groups around. That way I have easy access to all the ethnic food I want! Mexican food one day, Italian the next, Thai and Indian and Chinese...mmmmm..... Oh yeah, and the culture is good too.
