Not really. Most people want to stick around.
I recommend working to change how people interact with the world, rather than trying to get rid of people.
That would mean I also have to change. 😵💫 But I am a big part of the problem!
So start planning out how to change. I'd look at:
We're looking at houses right now and I want a relatively small house in a neighborbood where biking is a possibility. My SO wants one that pretty much only has access to a highway and is huge and spacious.
I recommend spending a bunch of time talking about the community you're buying into - a lot of what you get in some places isn't just the house itself, but the fact that you're able to form relationships with the people who live around you, and that just doesn't happen as easily in places that are structured so you need to drive everywhere. Also, if you're planning on kids, it's a lot easier when they can walk over to a neighbor's house to play instead of having to drive them until they're in their mid-teens.
If only my SO could understand this....
Do the two of you have older cousins who have lived in places similar to the ones you're talking about? Maybe you could have a discussion with them about what their lives are like.
