[The Mikado]

Not going to vote.  Question's too vague.

[MasterJedi]

BRTD makes me agree more so Agree.

[Platypus]

Total disagree. Be a f'ing city or be the bush. At least be a country town. Suburbs are truly the worst of everything, a world between but with nothing to call its own. Suburbs are, in short, worthless, resource-wasting badlands.

[Torie]

It depends on what you are looking for. Burbs or course vary a lot, from elite to dumps. In general, unless you have kids, they don't make much sense, all things being equal, and depending how where and how you make ends meet. But well, some cities are a lot better than others, as we all know.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Hell no.

[Torie]

Hell no.

Would you rather live in Detroit or Ann Arbor?

[Alcon]

I know I'm 18 right now, but I doubt I'll change my mind too much on this one:  I'd rather be shot in the face with a pellet gun.

Seattle itself is a suburb. Please!

Assuming you marry and breed, and do well, you will find yourself in an elite close in suburb. I see Mercer Island in your future.

A damn good thing I don't live in Seattle, then

But, yeah, Seattle is a little suburban for me.  Vancouver is more to my tastes.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Hell no.

Would you rather live in Detroit or Ann Arbor?

Neither one is a suburb so the question isn't very relevant.

[Dr. Cynic]

Never lived in one, so I refuse to vote.

[Torie]

Hell no.

Ann Arbor actually is. MacNamara lived there when he commuted to Dearborn. It is packed with commuters. You would not live in Detroit in a zillion years BRTD. Nor some other down and out towns.

By the way, unbeautiful downtown Detroit is close to Ann Arbor than whatever Toledo has to offer, which I suspect is nothing. And Ann Arbor is even closer to where money is made in the Detroit metro area. The Detroit airport is about 15 miles away to boot.

So flush the Toledo card. It was a joker!

Still claiming residence in Tacoma eh? How clinging!

Ann Arbor actually is.

Detroit isn't even the closest city with a >200k population to Ann Arbor. Toledo is. It's no more a suburb of either than Milwaukee is a suburb of Chicago, or St. Cloud is a suburb of my city.

You would not live in Detroit in a zillion years BRTD. Nor some other down and out towns.

Why not? Over 90k whites do.

BTW why did Alcon do a complete 180 from his typical arguments with me on the issue?

[Keystone Phil]

Disagree

I don't despise the suburbs but I love cities. I can't see myself living outside of a major city.

[Torie]

I lived in Ann Arbor BRTD. It is more of a suburb now, than then. If you have to live in the Detroit metro area, and have a family, where would you live?  That kind of answers the question no?

Well Ann Arbor isn't a choice as it's not in the Detroit metro. I'd go with a white, relatively affluent part of Detroit. I'm sure Detroit has neighborhoods with a higher median income than the one I currently live in, and certainly ones higher than the ones surrounding me (I basically live in a white enclave surrounded by the river and the ghetto.)

I note though you had to include the "have a family" part. That says a lot.

It depends on the suburbs.  The sprawl crap that goes for ever can certainly suck.  See Cobb County Georgia for example.  They don't have to be that way.  Lexington KY for example.

It is totally part of the Detroit metro. Stop being so stubborn! And even more now, since "nobody" works in Detroit proper anymore.

[Earth]

I'll agree just for the sake of the choice being closer to "it depends on what you need" regarding your surroundings.

[Torie]

Disagree

If you drop into NE Philly, from space, would not you think it a suburb? Heck, wasn't it built in the 50's?

How can it be part of the Detroit metro being further away from Detroit than Toledo?
