everyone knows why BTRD hates them.  For me it's slightly different.

Yes, I'll agree, there's no strip clubs because moms get hell bent on the idea of their kids seeing that stuff. God forbid<sarcasm>.

The suburbs started in the 50s.  They're supposed to be a combination of the city and the country, the problem is they combine the bad parts.

The country allows people to own a good deal of property and live in a house, also it's secluded from the intensity city life has, but everyone knows eachother in a town (to an extent).

The city has lots of people who are out and about, but most settle for a small living space.  However there's a convienience of fun places and having many stores within walking distance

The suburbs offer houses with a yard, but with such little space, it's not really enough to consider "property".  Also the suburbs are so big, people don't know eachother personally.  In the suburbs there's no night life, and hardly any fun places.  The stores you have to drive to since they're still a ways away, but noone knows anyone.  The sad part is that people live so close, to give the suburbs a community feel, but people hardly go out often, and they stay locked up.  People in suburbs often are boring, middle class, often white folk trying to start a family.  The only real benefit is the "safety" factor some suburbs have.

this is actually very similar to my stance as well, and not too different. I agree completely. And people mocked me for saying there's no night life or fun places in suburbs! Are you telling me they actually are better than the city in that aspect?

It sounds to me like Gabu lives in a place like Richfield or St. Louis Park, as opposed to a horrible place like Maple Grove or Lakeville.
