Devil Wears Wings posted:counterpoint: there is literally no place in the suburbs where you would be able to pick up women (single moms don't count) The women you pick up in the city also don't count because they are just biding their time with you until they meet the rich man who can actually afford a decent sized place in the city. When they get old and give up, they settle... well used.

Can't you just smell the culture? *hears neighbor flushes toilet in adjacent apartment* *can almost hear the excrement flowing through the pipes a few feet from your ears* For real though not all burbs are severly isolated from everything  That's a 7-11, recycled clothes store, Pizza Hut, and tanning booth within about 5 minutes walking distance. Across the street there is a local sports bar, a locally owned pizza joint, a Goodwill, a few fast food joints, etc. There's also about 5 open acres left for commercial development. Kitty corner to that, there's a grocery store, a locally owned gas station (franchise but the owners work there), a local sandwich shop, a local Chinese place, a local bar and grill, and the shell of a Blockbuster. Also I don't own a pool table, a motorcycle, none of that stuff (as much as I want to). Hell my wife and I share a Toyota Corolla and I sometimes bike to work. However I do like the fact that living out here I have the option to have those things if I want to. in conclusion basically if you dont like the suburbs you hate freedom gb2 europe you communist swine

I live in a city where it's actually cheaper to live Downtown in a nice apartment than it would be to live in a similar apartment in the suburb. My city has a huge problem with people being afraid of Downtown so it's pretty much abandoned by the middle class. I live in a remodeled and refurbished office building that was built in 1905 so I get high ceilings and solid insulation. I am also a neighbour to a strip club on one side and a subway on the otherside. White people being afraid is probably the best thing ever if you learn to take advantage of it

Knyteguy posted:*hears neighbor flushes toilet in adjacent apartment* Well honestly that hood looks like poo poo, friend. I'd rather live somewhere like Cary, NC. One of the best areas I've been to that made me think I'd actually not mind living there forever. Some people mix up "suburbs" with "towns". I agree, towns are poo poo and boring. Suburbs are the best of both worlds- live in a house, have a city center to have fun with.

I'll have to remind myself to be born to wealthy parents next time. BTW, $200 a sq ft you can build a really nice house, with your own plan, on your own land.

Fun facts that will amaze posters in this thread: - Most people in the city drive a car - There are houses in cities, that people own and live in. Lots of them in fact - If you live in the suburbs you are still legally allowed to enter the nearest city - You can live in both the suburbs and the city at different points in your life

Magnitogorsk. posted:Fun facts that will amaze posters in this thread: yes there are many misconceptions I think what a lot of people are calling "suburbs" are actually just really small towns isolated from anything else, like those little towns off the highway in the midwest with a single cobblestone road of businesses. When I think suburb, I think somewhere that is mainly houses and commercial space that is still within a 20 minute drive of all the fun bars and stuff downtown in a large city, so it's confusing why people would have such strong opinions. I again want to bring up the example of Cary, NC. A suburb of Raleigh, but a wonderful town in itself.
