I'm gonna ride this horse til it bucks me off and I'm forced to shoot it down

Funny article on Slate about 'lofts' -- though I have to point out that the author has it backwards when he says: "Nevertheless, the suburbs still win out over the city as a place to raise a family, because downtown still lacks the amenities that most Americans crave, such as good schools, convenient big-box stores, and, most importantly, a sense of personal space all but impossible in the big city" -- good schools should be the amenity he lists as most important.
