Lol you ask why would anyone want to live in the suburbs? Really?
Suburbs offer the inconvenience of nosey neighbors like in a city, but the inconvenience of having To drive everywhere like a rural area, with the traffic of a city. Then, throw in the bland stripmall architecture, lack of entertainment options of a rural area, the lack of community due to the transplant nature of suburbs, long commutes, etc. it’s basically none of the freedom of rural living with nearly all of the inconveniences of the city. You get all the worst parts of both extremes.

In my town, which is about seven or eight million, I find that most suburbanites think like lower class folk, but they have a little bit of comfort from their nine to five at XYZ Corp, so they’re emboldened to look down on poors, though they have many commonalities. There are certainly exceptions to this, but I think it’s largely truth.

Here is the true reality of all this insurrection combined with the pandemic, anyone w/ half a brain will be leaving every city of moderate size throughout this country. There will be a white flight not seen in decades & they all will be deserted shitholes due to absolutely 0 tax base, 0 investment or new business & their already crumbling infrastructures will collapse. It’s gonna be a bitter pill to swallow for places like KC, Louisville to name a few who invested millions & have already given away millions in tax exemptions to entice big businesses into their downtowns and urban areas. A decades worth of hard work by blue & white collar shite down the toilet. And don’t just place the blame on whitey here, have you been to suburbia, it’s a mix of everyone who wants their kids in good schools, low crime, & everyone has worked their arse off to get there.

Speak for yourself.
I’m in the suburbs (kind of) and I want to move to a more rural area. I will never move into a more urban area.

I used to loath the burbs, but there can’t be a better place to be with all this shite going on.

Not sure if it’s just me, I’m not a real estate expert but I feel like every 3-5 years regardless of what’s going on in the world you have this topic come up where one expert says the suburbs are growing and booming and the other expert says that city living is surging. Not sure what to believe anymore.

Im in the burbs now, my next move will be to about 6 to 7 miles outside a town of 10000.
Looking at about 3 - 5 acres.
But will be an hour fifteen from a major city with transportation hubs.

This is literally what is happening all over the South right now. Dallas is a classic example too.

I want my kids to grow up going to a decent private school, and i dont want my house to be the target of robbers. I also don't like drug dealers, crack whores, blm protestors, and heroin junkies lining my street. Suberbs work just fine for not being mixed up in that.

It seems to me that cities tend to be for the poor that depend on things like public transportation, the younger crowd with no kids and the wealthy. The burbs are mostly middle/upper middle class. I don't really see this changing much anytime soon.

People with kids have different demands on what constitutes “entertainment” and frankly have less time to seek those activities out. Schools and tuition are other factors that make suburbs more attractive.
Convenience is a much bigger factor

Is this from your experience or outside observation? Because it's way off.

I get that. I’ve always felt that I want to either be in the middle of everything or the middle of nothing, but nothing in the middle.

Return? Suburbs are blowing up bigger than ever before.

Good point but there's nothing preventing these businesses from moving to the suburbs.
A lot of office space is a pretty big deal
