Agreed one hundred percent, being formatively from an urban background and then transported into suburbia in childhood. Much of my useful life experience and skills in that stage of life came from exposure to the reputed "grit" of cities. Suburbia offered nothing in this regard. It was a contentless, vapid expanse of nothingness, where I couldn't go anywhere or do anything without being deliberately driven there by my parents.
