Depends on the suburb, too— I grew up in a prewar streetcar suburb where all the kids walked to school in the 90s (although there weren't really corner stores that kids went down to for milk or whatever). More 'modern' suburbs are designed to only be navigable by a car, and getting to most destinations involves crossing huge deadly arterial roads.
