Seriously. Suburbs are a hell I refuse to return to and which I wouldn’t wish on anyone. They just suck the life out of everything and you don’t even get anything for it. Hell, the houses aren’t even that cheap so you really just get to spend a lot of money on hot garbage.

“Hey, wanna be isolated from all your friends while getting nothing in return except the blandest, cookie-cutter hellscape? Have I got the place for you! And fret not, it’ll still cost you a staggering amount of money for even a small, shitty place so you better be fuckin’ married if you want even a two-bedroom condo!”

I think suburbs is really only for people who have no soul and no creativity in the first place which could get smashed by the blandness of it all. I grew up in a very rural area and i hated it so much, it's difficult to put into words. I'll never leave the city again.

Proper rural at least has some advantages, but bland, single-family home suburb whose development was built on what used to be a forest beside a farmer’s field doesn’t count. Like, if someone has a house way out because they just like that kinda thing then I’m still wondering what they’re up to out there, if they’re ok, and what they’re planning on doing if they ever have kids but at least they can actually stay up late with a fire in the backyard. Of course, most of them are too scared of having a septic tank to ever get far enough away to make it worth it.

And yea, trapping your kids far from stuff because you’re anti-social is extra weird.

It's not weird, it's just sad, in my opinion. So many opportunities missed out on.
