Don't listen to this fellow of yours. routing traffic between subnets
is fast and safe and is definitely better than having one HUGE
broadcast domain, which is exposed to broadcast storms and the normal
overhead caused by broadcasts and multicasts.

You must use a router or a Layer 3 Switch to move traffic between the
subnets.
