Settle down Francis, you're obviously a rational adult who prefers living in a City, you have no place in this discussion. Strident opinions only.

himajinga posted:I'm sure it's the same thing with city folk implying that suburbanites are all anti-culture rednecks that gave up. because they had kids so they spend more time and effort on their families. It's tough to raise kids, so you just do fewer "cool things". Then again, it's cool to be great parents and spend quality time with your children. Am I projecting a cis-gender traditional patriarchal nuclear family structure?

get your poo poo together cityfags, you're just jealous of your successful suburbanite homeowner peers! (There is only one definition of 'success'. Find a high-paying job. Get married. Move to the suburbs. Buy a home. Have kids. Consume consume consume until you die. You cannot be happy without these things, and if you're happy living in the city without any of them then you must be lying to yourself.)

Can we all at least agree that whether or not suburbs are superior to city living (it's not), they are both preferable to living in the middle of nowhere in some dying rural wasteland, where the one thing to do is stare into the distance as everything falls into decay and ruin because the coal ran out years ago?

I spent 10 years living in suburbs and it's really cool. i love how going anywhere is a bare minimum commitment of an hour, unless you're just picking up food in town, which still takes half an hour.

one day you are going to wake up, and you are 44 and you will walk out to your your driveway and look around at the hundreds of other yous with similar houses, cars and driveways it is going to hit you all at once, and you are going to break down right there on the driveway and cry your eyes out because you've wasted your life you can barely feel anymore and the height of the past week was Pedro coming over to do your lawn you will realize you've been having the exact same conversations with your wife, whom you stopped loving decades ago, your kids who you can't connect with, your neighbors who are as terrified of human interaction as you and you are going to curse yourself for being such a huge loving human being and for not realizing you willingly moved yourself and your family to a limbo where life is under constant assault until there is hardly anything left for anyone to feel. you are trapped here forever, in this pocket dimension and the world will move on without you and in 5000 years you are still going to be a human being

Nathilus posted:I've been in some burbclaves that were so bland and samey that it traumatized me. Like, once we were driving through a north austin suburb to get to a friend of mine's parents' house. We all lived and went to school in San Antonio so austin trips were fairly common and easy. But we kept going through this god damned suburb and every block was exactly the same. I got a very sickening feeling and also felt like I was detached from reality. Like, the only way I can explain it is a little voice going "You are now entering: The Stepford Wives. Have a nice day." accompanied by dissociation and massive dread. I expect I'd feel the exact same way if I got abducted and stuck in the Hypercube or shrunk down and put in a gerbil run. This sums up the whole of Northern Virginia quite nicely. You can drive for miles and feel like you've gone absolutely nowhere.

Even a modest suburban school district is light years better than even the best City schools, except for the thinnest crust at the top of the NYC or other big city districts, and good luck getting your kids into one of those if you're not connected.
