I always enjoy your pcpierteve Globe articles and this week's column on the urban likes of the millennials really struck home although as an ancient boomer I have to say that your sentiments also apply to me and a good number of my friends. I grew up in London, England and have always loved city life and hated the suburban dream', particularly as practised in North America. I've never understood why anyone would want to live in a massive home, divided from its neighbours by vast tracts of perfect lawn, with no sidewalks and a dearth of public transit. I rail (mostly impotently) against the pedestrian-unfriendly environment that continues to dominate where I live; once a small town, now a rapidly growing suburb, complete with endless tracts of housing unrelieved by shops, pubs, cafes and street life. The only way to get from A to B is by car unless, like me, you are fortunate enough to live in the old town, a brief walk from the GO station. I love your site and was delighted to see photos of the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia and the mouth-watering breakfast in Istanbul, variations of which we tasted often during our unforgettable trip to Turkey in 2010.
