answer:In the suburbs, you get the comforts and socialization of a neighborhood, and in our area that is a considerable benefit, and a deterrant to crime, since all the oldsters are watching your house for you all day. You often get more house for your purchase price outside of a city, more amenities or land, or mature landscaping, etc… In suburbia your children catch a school bus at your house, no bus stops or walking into dangerous areas on the way to school. We also do actually get plenty of exercise and our air is fairly clean, it’s like a swarm of sweat pants & dogs after work on our roads. In our neighborhood, children can still ride bikes and play without fear, as adults on our street look out for them, it’s a real community to a degree, but we don’t intrude on each other after 7p, that’s like a big deal, family time.
