Slowburbia

The ever expanding suburbs - nothing going on... just houses and strip malls... no sense of community, and the night life is gone soon after sundown. It's great to raise a family, but not to be a young adult looking for fun after hours.

I gotta get up to the city, there is nothing going on here in slowburbia.

Slumburbia 

1. A derisive term for older suburbs that are declining into poverty. The word is a combination of "Slum" and "Suburbia."

2. The bleak future for many aging American suburbs.

3. What happens when people refuse to take urban planning seriously.

Slumburbia is almost always found in large metro areas. As middle-class residents move farther and farther away from the urban core, the closer-in suburbs start to deteriorate. Property values fall leading to reduced local tax revenue, decreased public services, declining schools and increasing crime, especially gang activity. This vicious circle continues for years until the suburb itself is no longer distinguishable from the large city it borders.

Examples of Slumburbia: Hamtramck, Michigan; Somerville, Massachusetts; Camden, New Jersey; and Compton, California.

My hometown is turning into Slumburbia. You can hear gunfire there almost every night.

Snoburbian 

A person from the burbs who have utter disregard for laws since they feel it don't apply to them

The snoburbian wanted his Starbucks and wifi but there was no where to park so he parked in the last handicapped space, creating a hardship for the person who needed it
