>> Residential area without businesses sounds crazy.
Depends. If you are a young, single person without a car, yes, suburbs might not be a great place to live.
On the other hand, if you have a family, and can afford it, you look for a neighborhood with good schools and low crime rate.
You can pick your bakeries on your way back from work, and you can drive to any restaurant, local or not.
- vidarh 11y agoIt doesn't have to be either-or. I spent most of my childhood in a small town in Norway. Most of it was suburban. But almost everyone was within 10 minutes walk from a small grocery store, and within 20 minutes walk from downtown which held a couple of small shopping centres, a couple of shopping streets, the train and bus stations. Very few people lived next to any noisy businesses, but everyone lived near shops.
