    Every anti-suburb sentiment acts like every suburb looks like that movie Vivarium. The suburbs around the (major US) city I live with busy nightlife and foot-accessible food/shopping might as well not exist to you guys.

    There’s only a thin strip of suburban hell before it turns rural.

      What you describe are the city outskirts, not designated green-field residential developments that form the majority of suburbs.

        No, the city outskirts (where I live now) are neighborhoods on the edge of - but within - the city. Suburbs are the separate towns. The type of towns I’m describing makes up at least 3/4 of the suburbs of my city
