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.

Wow you must never have been to the suburbs.

We own plenty of land, more than you can own in a city. (visit there and you'll see and not the crappy inner ring suburbs that are basically the city now).

We people in the suburbs go out a lot and know many of our neighbors. Friendly atmosphere and not a lot of shootings.

Get your facts straight before you start critisizing. Geese!

I live in the suburbs.

I don't mind the suburbs but my area is more of a small city.
   milk and Cereal where do you live.

Sterling Heights-anyone who has lived there can vouch for my generalizations.
