I was raised in a suburban neighbourhood (and not even a better one, it was still like a rough inner city area in character) and it's the worst of both worlds. You are so far from the city proper that there's nothing to do within walking distance from your house, but you're still in built-up area, so it's not like you get the outdoor activities you can get in a rural countryside setting. Once I move out of my parents' house, I don't think I'll ever do the suburbs again.
It has to be one or the other for me, it has to be either all-out city life, or countryside with fun outdoor activities.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
