Yes, the suburbs rule, I would much rather give up the convenience and excitement of living in an urban center to buy a McMansion with a bunch of rooms I don't need stuffed with poo poo that I never use, a yard for "gardening" (aka a carefully manicured lawn) and a garage because nobody can ever find parking in the city amirite. My life will be driving 20mins to the nearest grocery store and maybe trying that new Italian restaurant that opened up the next town over once I can build my finances back up from those roof repairs that we had to make last year. This. Is. Living.

Bowlcutbarricade posted:I don't understand the appeal of the suburbs. I want to be able to walk to the neighborhood corner store when I need something, not get in a car get on the freeway and drive all the way to some ugly strip mall. Things like "convenience" and "not having long rear end drives for basic necessities" aren't a concern when you have 2,000 sq feet of house biotch

Lol @ "raise your kids in the suburbs" the suburbs are the worst place to raise a kid unless you want a sheltered, emotionally stunted wreck of a young adult who believes that everyone is a white upper middle class homeowner and that ribs from applebees are the height of cuisine

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.)
