The suburbs is where most americans want to make a living. It is where successful individuals or couples who have made it somewhere in life through determination live. Whether or not the same can be said about their children is up for debate, but it is a HAVEN from the noise-ridden, polluted, and often crime / poverty infested city. People living in a suburb ADVANCED in life, and made it out of the city, or were lucky enough to have educated parents who raised them here. Whether or not those privileged appreciate it or not is also up for debate, but as one of those privileged individuals myself, I can honestly say that after 30 years of living in a New Jersey suburb, I have WISENED up enough to say that I am THANKFUL to live in a suburb. Sure, it can get boring, and there are downsides to living in a suburb, but as with anything in life, there are solutions, like earning your own car to get places, as I did (which I must say most 'urbanites' at my job are jealous of). And I must add its nice to come home from a 12 hour shift in the middle of summer to a very suburban SWIMMING POOL, rather than cooling off to a very urban FIRE HYDRANT.
There are mostly negative definitions of suburbanites here, and they are most likely coming from biased and jealous urban folks, who will NEVER make it out of the city, due to their child support issues, or their little record.

Suburbs are generally located in metropolitan areas and are for strange reasons, considered to be the worst places in the United States. Many people (especially from the Inner City) think of suburbs as places populated by soccer moms and such, when that isn't entirely true. Other people that live in suburbs will think of them as worthless places with houses that look exactly the same. The media also portrays suburbs with houses that look exactly the same, but that isn't true. There are plenty of nice places in the suburbs, and these are all stereotypes given by ignorant people and spoiled brats that continue to explain suburbs as being boring. Saying such about suburbs is equal to saying that rural areas are filled with rednecks or urban areas are filled with ghettos and thugs. Not all suburbs contain the same looking houses or monotonous mcmansions and ranch houses. I personally live in a suburb that has old but large and unique houses that are at a good distance and the neighbors are friendly. Sure there are many faults with suburbs, but there are also many in urban areas.
A Conversation about the Suburbs

Spoiled suburban brat: "Man these suburbs are so boring, there's nothing to do. This is the worst place in the world."

Someone from an urban area after seeing a movie: "How can anyone live in the suburbs, there are soccer moms driving SUV's and houses that look exactly the same."

Moderately Intelligent Person actually from suburbs: "I live in the suburbs and the houses don't look exactly the same. Infact they would be easier to find than a specific apartment. Stop coming up with stereotypes. Also, there is plenty to do if you aren't lazy, just hangout with friends or find a hobby and quit whining you simpleton."

Where you live when you dont want to live in the inner city. It's a place of mostly middle-class homes, Walmart, soccer moms, SUVs, strip malls and the homes of corporate bigwigs. Suburbs in the United States began to spring up during the post WWII years as families left the central cities for a quieter, safer and more relaxed lifestyle. However some suburbs are just as poor as the inner-city itself. According to the US census, the number of persons living in the suburbs now outnumbers those in the central cities.
Most Americans would probably rather live in a suburb than in the crime-infested inner city.

A boring, isolating, depressing, and lonesome place to live. Most suburbs consist of nothing more than single-family homes and a shopping center. If you're between the ages of 18 and 38, you will be bored and lonely out of your mind living in a suburb. "Activities" enjoyed by most residents include shopping at Costco, drinking alone, yelling at people for driving 1 MPH over the speed limit, and mowing the lawn. A great place to live if you want a boring, solitary existence.
I couldn't find a designated driver since there is nobody my age in this suburb, so I paid $30 for an Uber to a nightclub in the city.

The suburbs are a great place to live, despite what some people say.

Pros;
-Friendly, generally middle class folks
-Better schools
-Safer then any city
-Beautiful houses, that are usually not as expensive as they would be in the city
-So peaceful and quiet that you can hear the birds chirping in the morning
-Great place to raise a family

Cons;
-Having a car is a must, or else you won't be able to step outside your home
-Can be a little boring at times
-High population of whiney emo kids

All in all, living in Suburbia is awesome and I would never trade it over to live in a shithole that most cities have become, see Toronto If you want affordable housing and a safe environment to raise a family, the suburbs are your answer. So ignore the pieces of shit who constantly bash the 'burbs, their just jealous because they're ghetto shit who live in the inner city.
Toronto kid; ew, you live in the suburbs? You must be a spoiled rich white kid.
Pickering kid (suburb of Toronto) ; I see. Well, you live in Toronto don't you?
Toronto kid; yeah.
Pickering kid; Then you must be an inner city ghetto piece of crap on a stick.
Toronto kid; ...YEAH, WELL, WHATEVER.
Pickering kid; douchebag.
Rural kid; YEE HAW!
Toronto and suburbian kid; wtf?
