city>>>>>
burbia is cookie cutter/chain restaurants with no soul/character ......
city has tons of local/non-chain spots bars, lounges and more to do....dont have to drive everywhere
plus people come into the city from the burbs to hang out then they gotta drive back drunk and catch DUIs
also even if your older city life is better i read a study that seniors fair better in the city because of the activities and constant contact with people and less driving....seniors in the burbs have to drive everywhere which increases stress and also they get less visitors cause they are isolated
The burbs really don't have any character.
I'm from Pittsburgh, grew up in the suburbs, lived in the city for almost ten years on my own and now I live in the fukking hood in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC.
I hated the lack of character, personality, the class BS, the latent racism, the whiteness, the uppity attitudes, the in your face overtly religiousness, the conservative lean, the fake smiles, the strip malls, the ugly buildings, the corporate culture, the ungodly worship of sports (from childhood to adulthood) and as a black/Nigerian/west indian (first gen) American, I absolutely hated the lack of diversity.
Sometimes, as much as I cherished growing up and having a childhood that had great education, a safe environment, and a very promising and providing atmosphere...I resent that bullshyt especially now as an adult cause I think about how much better off I would of been mentally and physically if I could of grew up in a place where I could of met more black people like myself and not feel like a token/loner for the majority of my formative years.
fukk THE BURBS. DEAD ASS.
