A lot of us grew up in a suburban setting, and did not like it. We moved to an urban setting for a reason.

  I grew up in a small town and thought life there was pretty good until I moved to a city for university. Once I got a taste of living in a city, I didn't think I would ever return and couldn't understand why so many people live out there. Then I had kids and we moved to the suburbs and I like living here better than any place I've lived before. Once self-driving cars are a thing, I'm buying one and moving even further out of the city. Interestingly, there's been a lot of office space being built around me. I think companies that have a lot of suburban employees are moving to the suburbs (including my employer).

    > I think companies that have a lot of suburban employees are moving to the suburbs (including my employer). Probably so. It's cheaper than urban office space, and they probably figure everyone's driving anyway (which is pretty much guaranteed true after they move to the suburbs).

  And continuing to miss the point, your comment stands as a shining example. You did not like it. Others do. You are not the defining opinion on how people should live.

  I grew up in suburbia. It was nice. Moved to a city for college. It was nice. Moved to a different city after college. It was nice. Started a family, moved to a slightly more suburban area of the city. It was nice. I think all the types of housing are good for different people at different stages of their life. There is no 'this is the best type of housing for everyone' housing type.
