If you're comfortable with it, that's really all that matters.
yeah.. that's what i'm thinking..
Well...of course it is. But I'm guessing there's plenty of people who look down at the people who live in the suburbs just because it's not how they would want to live their lives.
We city folk get plenty of hate too. "Aren't you afraid of the CRIME?!??" "Oh my their schools are awful!" "But the TRAFFIC!!!???!?" etc.
I've lived at least portions of my life in pretty much every environment the US has to offer. My preferences are to be either right in the thick of the city, or way the heck out in the country (preferably mountains).

I suppose I should make my statement more universal by saying I don't understand why people have to hate on where other people choose to live their lives.
I'd like to think I would probably be alright living anywhere. My favorite pastime is reading, and you can do that no matter where you live.

why do you care what other people think? if you're happy.. that's all that matter..

of the city all day..

That's human nature though. Cards fans hate on Cub fans, people from NYC hate on people from LA, Clash fans hate on ZZ Top, etc.
I try to adopt the motto "don't hate--appreciate!", but I still make fun of people. Sad but true.
My preferred dwelling places follow the simple formula that says the livability of an area is an inverse relation to the number of Starbucks in the area.

You're gonna eventually run out of places to live then.

That's more a product of conversation though. It's annoying and unproductive to constantly be having to put in caveats and exceptions into conversations just to appease everyone. If I don't like the way people who wear socks with sandals look, I'm not going to spend 5 minutes explaining that while I don't like the look I still respect those people and I'm sure they're fine people who live upstanding lives...BLAA BLAA BLAA ad nauseum. I'm just going to say that people who wear socks with sandals look stupid.

I know of a place or two that are Starbucks proof.

Understood. I just think there's a jump made a lot of times from "people who wear socks with sandals look stupid" to "people who wear socks with sandals are stupid."

I do enjoy ribbing those folks, but I don't honestly think any less of them. Especially if you've got kids and stuff, as others have alluded to, I can understand how the 'burbs would have some appeal.
