"Suburbs are easy to get around (assuming you have a car) " So, not really, then. "I don't really know what people mean when they say suburbs are dull." There's very little going on in them. Most of the culture options are in the cities. Most of the live music is going to be in the cities. Suburbs tend not to attract the new, experimental restaurants, preferring instead the safe predictable chain restaurants. Suburbs tend not to attract museums or traveling Broadway productions. "There always seemed to be plenty of options everywhere I lived, conveniently accessible by car" And where are they? Usually in the city. And you have to have a car. "Are the people who complain about this stuff real oddballs who need weird stuff you can only find in the biggest of cities, or are they congenitally hostile to driving?" They like new things. They like experimental things. And they don't always want to deal with the pain of driving (traffic and parking).
