Suburbs

A place on the outskirts of the city, this way more people can live in a city. It is often confused with the rich suburbs, such as Beverly Hills, California, and Ladue, Missouri. Many races live here, not just whites.

Bob: Dude, the suburbs suck!
Frank: Meh, depends on which one.

Scubburbs 

Area between the right side of the tracks and the wrong side of the tracks. Scum + Suburbs = Scubburbs.

My house is in the fucking scubburbs. The Clopecs in my front yard and Walmart in my backyard. All these scubburbinites are getting together for some BBQ and discount bargains.

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.

Suburbs Low 

Ghetto version of city high (R&B trio from late 90s, early aughts).

We can form our own group, instead of city high, we can be suburbs low.

suburbs

In the cases I know of, it has: a neighborhood with mostly two-story houses, a place to hang out within walking distance((Consists of a movie theater, food place, etc.), and schools within bike-riding distance. Unlike cities, it isn't loud and noisy at night. Usually has middle-class people because the houses are nice. A police station is just a mile away, so crime rate is lower than in most cities even.

Example:

Person 1: I bet living in the suburbs sucks, with it being so boring, and filled with crime!

Person 2: Where'd you get that idea? We don't need cars honking outside our windows for life to be interesting, and the crime rate is very low.
