Thanks for the response! 2 is my personal hobbyhorse right now, so I was probably overeager to tie something only kinda related back to it (I'm strongly against this idea that all of our technical/financial/cultural elites should live in like 5 cities, and view it as a disastrous national policy). As it relates to the suburbs, honestly, you've probably seen more of the US than I have so you're likely correct. I personally grew up in a rural setting here, so I spent the afternoon thinking about how that relates or doesn't relate to what I guess suburban living is like (we were more isolated but I don't recall feeling lonely, parents would take us over to a friend's house for the day to hang out, etc.) But I was considering the sociology of rural, suburban or urban living, not sure I have any grand proclamations yet
