not always possible
most people living in suburbs don't have the luxury of working in the suburbs
same for rural areas
if you are one of those lucky people, then thats great, but you are an outlier

One is not better than the other. It's a matter of personal preference. I would go crazy living in the country. I like being able to walk, bicycle or drive less than 10 minutes to get to anything my heart desires.....good food and drink, live music, friends that live close, museums....yes I go every couple of months, grocery stores a 10 minute bicycle ride away (Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Sprouts and Fiesta), great exercise options....I'm about to ride my bike to Baylor's Tom Landry Center to swim. The only thing that sucks is when I have a meeting way out in the burbs. I do have a small yard but it's big enough. Not sure what I would do with a lot of property. Its not noisy...maybe I am used to it though. And traffic is not bad at all. Traffic is only an issue for people that don't live near all the conveniences. The country is a nice place to visit but would get boring for me.

BR is caught in the gray zone of being a little city with some country aspects.

Many burbs are simply smaller satellites of the city, smaller versions with office parks, restaurants and such.

I honestly don't think "city" in the context of this conversation when it comes to these two places. They are assuredly both cities by definition, but for the most part don't have the conveniences of living in a city.

You left out access to many activities such as live music, restaurants, museums, new people, etc. Access to lots of goods and services used to be a bigger deal before the Internet though I'm sure.

I know more is "pushing" out this way as Austin is running out of room, but it's still a different kind of lifestyle.

You can do that in a lot of major suburbs around the country. In Chicago, the suburbs have the global HQ of like 25 F500 companies (McDonald's, Abbott Labs, Kraft, ITW, Baxter, Navistar, CDW, Grainger, etc., etc.).
Seattle's traffic is horrific. Not sure why you're using Seattle as an example here.

I need to stop mixing the suburb/country when referring to BR.
It isn't country. But I can imagine for the older crowd that lives in BR it does have some small town aspects to it (Knowing everyone, going to some of the restaurants or shops that have been around before decades).
The thing that drops BR as a small city is the fact that our public transit is complete shite. But then again, that can be said about Louisiana in general.

Having privacy to do what you want is a huge positive
