People with children generally move to the suburbs because urban developers aren't really building family friendly housing and its hard to be social with the suburban model, which is that you get a lot of space but you therefore don't have very many neighbors and you aren't within walking distance of the town center.
Your TV comment reminds me that one of the biggest shows was "Cheers" where you kinda get to feel like your hanging out with people your age.

Growing up in the suburbs, we'd frequently visit family friends clear across the metro area. It would take at worst 15 minutes to drive to and park at their houses for dinner parties. The geographically closest person I know in San Francisco is around 2 miles away, and that's 40+ minutes on foot or more by bus (off commute hours so low frequency, no express service, etc).
