Indeed, that suburbs offered better access to many of those things than did cities (especially poor parts of cities) used to be one of the big arguments offered against suburbs. The argument was that suburbs had those things due to racism--suburbs were mostly white and so governments built those things in the suburbs.
- vel0city 3y agoThe suburb I'm talking about is less white than the national average, by a significant margin. (50% versus 75%)
- RestlessMind 3y agoThe suburbs where we live, white people are a minority. And they have all the great stuff GP mentioned.
