It depends on the person really
I lived in the burbs for a year about 4 years ago and that shyt just wasnt for me
1.every store was too fukking far away
I got used to having 20+ stores within a block or 2, shyt was just hella convenient and I missed that in the burbs
2.nobody was ever outside
Im used to it being hella nikkas and lil kids outside all the time.it was boring as hell in the burbs
3.people calling the police for every little petty reason.
This is what really pissed me off the most.I probably had the police called on me 20-30 times in one fukking year for dumb shyt like my music being too loud(on a saturday at 3 pm

), weed smell, too much traffic coming in and out my house(

),my 6 year old niece fighting another kid, etc. I even had a neighbor call the city on me cause my grass was too high(and I got fined for that bullshyt too

)
4.most of the people in the burbs are lame,lonely, and bored so they spend they time doing petty and unnecessary shyt like some of the stuff I named in
#3 .i just couldnt see myself living around these type of people forever
Overall the shyt just felt different.
The hood is like one big family(atleast where im from it is) and the burbs its a bunch of phoney people who really don't like or want to be around each other
This just my opinion tho, some of you might like those quiet neighborhoods thats dead all the time with a bunch of nosey neighbors but that shyt just wasnt for me
