Exactly this. I agree 100%. A lot of responses are triggered folks who highlight exactly what you're saying. How dare you call suburbs sheltered, boring, and fake. A lot of responses cry about urban places being dangerous hell holes, when in fact it highlights exactly what woodruffw was saying. No one in the suburbs gives a shit about each other, because there is no sense of community. Karen in the HOA cares more about what color your door knob is, and the kids sneak to the basement when the parents are out to try out exotic drugs. Let's not kid ourselves and compare urban centers "as omg, I can't even walk my kid to school without a homeless person that molests them". Hyperbole at the best. Stay in your suburbs, and don't use urban tax dollars to fund your lifestyle choices. And while you're at it, when you visit an urban center, learn to drive and parallel park, or does that scare you too?
