Son, you can drive seamlessly from almost any city into the burbs and you wouldnt recognize the difference. The borders are almost non existent.
First, I’m not your son. I come from better breeding stock than that.
Second, that’s simply untrue. I know because I live in a city and drive to the suburbs frequently.
Maybe sit out a few plays, sport.

However, there’s still something to be said for only having a 10-15 minute commute every day. Nothing like being able to go from your desk to your couch in sweatpants in under 20 minutes.
I used to tease coworkers in Dallas because they left work 30-60 minutes before me and I still got home before them

Literally no difference from The Heights and Katy. None.

me thinks it’s something people say but don’t really mean
I wouldn't mind living in the country but my expectations are a little more realistic.

I don't know, I think a LOT of big city dwellers like the idea of living in a more rural setting. Not sure they all would actually enjoy living in a more rural setting.
I know for me it would take a really special small, rural town for me to enjoy living there.
This
There aren't any idyllic towns in the South, they all require significant sacrifices.
There are some smallish towns in California and New England where you have close to perfect balance in terms of educated and well-to-do populace, geographic appeal, relaxed living, etc. (politics might be an issue).
Theoretically I'd love to live in Auburn, but I'm sure the absence of certain things would get old quickly.

If he means it's hard to tell any difference by driving down the interstate, then sure, he's right, but it's a pretty dumb point to make. Development always follows the highways so just about any highway/interstate not in downtown will look similar with retail and strip malls all around.
Just like every little small town you pass driving between big cities will look the same from the interstate. Just a few gas stations and fast food places.

To me, I grew up in New Orleans. Left there 44 years ago for country living. No regrets. 
Also every time I go to BR or NO, I ask myself how the hell people put up living on top of each other and spend hours in traffic jams every day.

It took me until I was nearly 40 but I finally got burned out on living in the city. Near suburbs are where I want to be for the next 20 years or so. Then maybe a place on the coast for retirement.

Just popping in with my uncool opinion that living in the suburbs is awesome. I am 5 minutes from groceries/bars/restaurants/hardware/etc., but 20 minutes away from the camp and woods. Neighborhood is quiet, no crime, everyone mows their lawns, and uniformly two parent households who share the same values as I do. Have a big yard, trees, very little traffic. The burbs, man. It's lit out here.

Are you telling me life isn't like a Hallmark movie? GTFOH.

I get the feeling that a lot of the posters hating on suburbs are young with no kids and will likely find themselves living in one in 7-8 years
