re: How old were you when you gave up on life and moved to the suburbs?

Sounds like there are quite a few differences between the two.
Really depends upon the community. Go to Detroit and you'll find a major difference. In LA, it's one massive area.

I definitely agree there. I grew up in the suburbs. It's probably why I don't prefer them. But it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to move back.
Same. I don't fault anyone for their preferences, and I entirely understand not wanting to raise a family in the middle of downtown NOLA or something.
Though where I differ is that it entirely WOULD be the end of the world if I had to move back to Central. I can barely muster the motivation to drive to visit
I don't know how I ever made that drive to and from BR my first year of college.

Yeah. San Jose is a city but the most of the neighborhoods feel suburban. When I think of a city I'm normally thinking of the more densely packed ones.

La Provence and Maybe Pardo's are the only two on the Northshore
I wouldn't even count these 2 as the best on the northshore. Sal N Judy's, 527, and Dakota's and I am good in my radius of great restaurants on the northshore.

More space
This is a funny one and where I kinda switch sides.
Jones and I live in BR, which hardly qualifies as "urban" but I guess technically it is the city to which our suburbs (Denham, Central, Prairieville, etc.) lie adjacent.
We have a larger yard and are father away from neighbors than my brother in his brand new home in Prairieville. We have a large front garden and a darn pond in the backyard. People walk and ride their bikes around the neighborhood all day. It is very safe and quiet and there's a lot of space.
But that's why it entirely depends on the city and on the suburb. Living in the middle of NYC, Chicago, etc. is apartment living basically. BR doesn't really count as a city in that sense.

Well few cities in the USA have Manhattan or Brooklyn's rows of brownstone homes. They are mainly a cluster of apartments or single family homes.

it has over 200k people in the city limits and 830k in the metro population
that's "urban"

That would descri be Shreveport too where the neighborhoods are far more suburban like than dense urban.

Well which is it? Someone else just said when they think city, they think NYC type shite. That's not BR.
If we are counting BR as city, the Roger is right - shite isn't really any different than living in a suburb.

Plenty of cities have, say, Cleveland or Portland density, though. I find those areas to feel pretty different from most suburbs.

Oh, well I see where you're coming from. Central is a shithole. I think the city vs suburb argument hinges on where and which.
I'd bet there are many suburbs that are better in term of amenities than entire cities.

there is one NYC
Los Angeles and Houston are the next 2 largest and they're completely different types of cities

Dude, you trying to start a conversation on top of the one already being had or something? Hush your butt
There are cities with an urban "feel", there are cities that are sprawled out, there are cities that feel like suburbs, there are cities that feel like bustling neighborhoods, etc. So whether the suburb or the city is better entirely depends on which city and which suburb.

Nothing wrong with the burbs as long as you love the people you live with. my life is better than ever.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 8:48 pm to SlowFlowPro
Only way I'm going urban is if it's NYC and I'd need about $500k/year to bring my family there.
Mostly shite school systems with crime around in most major cities.

Works for me. I get to spend enough time in Houston to satiate my metropolitan cravings.
An occasional breather to ATL helps too.

And I bet they complain about the cookie cutter homes in the burbs.
