A lot of people think "suburbs bad" but really its more a side effect to how decentralized the US is, politically and economically. There's a wide range of population centers and surrounding suburbs with their own economies that flourish. We are not like your typical Western European country (or Japan) that has 1 city containing the national government, best colleges, and biggest companies in the economy. So there's a relief valve at the top whereby anyone of even moderate means can relocate themselves to follow the money / their passion / whatever.
