There was always something going on, and it was cool seeing all the action all the time. For me, I am a country person at heart, and so was my dad. For his last years of life he bought a run down trailer and moved out into a forest in the middle of nowhere with his dogs.

I moved to the town next door because my family bought our own home where it was a lot less developed but had houses with larger property and one of the most annoying things was having to drive literally everywhere to get to a bank or to a grocery store because everything is so spread out and there is no parks or any central point where there’s a community/energy.

Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. I'm ALWAYS wondering exactly what the attraction is to urban living. My son lives in Boston for the sake of a good paying career, but it seems the aspects of urban life you like, are tolerated by him for the sake of that "career". He was raised where I still live, in a suburb of Cleveland. Good schools, very low cost of living, little crime to speak of, no paying to park anywhere, in the seventh largest retail center of Ohio. The city is a 25 minute drive away, if we want to partake of the "energy", but I honestly prefer, actually cherish, peace & quiet. The fewer people I have to rub elbows with, the better. My son & daughter-in-law haven't started a family yet, but I pray they can find a nice suburb to live in when they do. Boston is certainly a nice place to visit, but... Well, different strokes I guess. Thanks Again!

One thing you forget to mention is their effect on yourself. If you don’t have engaging work, suburbs slowly weaken and deaden your life force. They actually weaken you and make you slower. If there’s nothing to do, then over time you’ll just watch TV . And that is why I don’t recommend the suburbs for hardly anyone. Some people like piece and quiet, but you can usually find that in the city in areas. No reason to move to the suburbs.

You should make a video about reasons to move to Detroit. Some of the pros are the redevelopMichigan Central Train Depotment such as Ford buying the Michigan Central Train Depot (They're going to invest almost 800 million dollars into Corktown), the two skyscrapers that are being built right now (Hudson & Monroe block), The construction of the new bridge between Windsor and Detroit, $100 million park that's going to be developed on the riverfront. There are more projects, I feel like the development of these projects will help revive the outer neighborhoods.

In my experience, schools in the suburbs are pretty mediocre. I went to a public high school and I just felt as if it were a step down from the private school I went to from K-8th grade. I think parents should be willing to spend the extra money on private schools, especially if you only have one or two kids. I mean, what else are you going to spend it on? Think about what you're already spending that money on in the burbs: a car, a house, property taxes, maintenance. Most people don't put automobile costs in their budget when they move to the burbs, but you are burning a lot of money that you don't realize. That includes two cars, because your wife needs to get to work and drop the kids off at errands. This includes car taxes for both cars. This includes maintenance and gas. If you have kids, they tend to want to go out on the weekends and who is going to take them? Kids have after school activities, so that's more gas that's getting burnt. Most people in the burbs tend to go through a car every 5-7 years. Some people are good with cars, but your kids inadvertently add a lot of wear and tear on them. If you live outside the city, close enough to commute, you're going to be paying A LOT more money for that house than anyone living further outside the city. Then as you mentioned, there is also the concept of time. You are constantly living in your car and you're not doing anything productive when you're driving. You can't really read a book when you're driving, even ebooks are really distracting. I don't know. If I choose to have a kid, I'd seriously consider raising them in the city. Money for private schools might be worth it in the long wrong. I wouldn't have to pay for a house or a car so I'd save a lot in that regard. You already live in the city, so are vacations as necessary as they are in the burbs? I feel like there is a greater need to escape in the suburbs than in the city. Also, take in account that your child is going to be obtaining some important life lessons that they can never get from suburban schools. How to be independent, figuring out how to get from point A to point B on their own really improves a person's intelligence. I can't imagine what that does for a kid. I see kids riding bikes and scooters all the time where I live. They have this intrinsic understanding that they need to stop for oncoming traffic. They just seem more mature than most of the kids I know in the suburbs. Think about the fact that culture is right on their fingertips. They might not appreciate it when they're little, but when they're older it might develop a taste for the arts.

'cause no matter where i go, no matter what i do in detroit, ....i don't belong. that's why it's important for me to move to the 'burbs. to change everything. -my environment -my atmosphere -all of it. the reason(s) why i'm moving to the burb's are these reasons: -to start a new life -to fell safe and be happy & most best of all -to live...in peace the peace that i had while i was growing up living in Detroit has long been since robbed, shattered and denied from me (thanks to the things [& people] discussed in my last comment). but that's why i'm trying to escape from detroit to the suburbs, TO SET EVERYTHING RIGHT!! i know, i can't take back the innocence that i lost, but what i *can* do, is ensure that all the s**t that i've been through, NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!! also because i wan't to be married one day (to a white woman [#dontjudgeme]) and have (4) kids. i want to raise my family in such a peaceful environment. they deserve better than this. whatever it takes, i have to do it ..........for the sake of a better future.
@RamaSivamani4 жыл бұрын
This is a great compariosn but from places I've seen I know there's a different types of suburbs. Some of them are more urban as far as activities and festivals and having like a "downtown" area. Not necessarily like downtown in the middle of a city but still like a downtown block where there still is a lot of energy in and if you live one or two streets off of that then it you have your quiet suburban feel but you walk a couple blocks and your on the more energetic "downtown" strip or street within the suburbs. Not all suburbs are built equal. That said there are still certain things that are suburban even in the more urban types of suburbs. Transportation is still mainly by individual car and not by proper public transportation options, and it still doesnt quite have the energy of a big city. But it may serve as a good type of living in some of those more urban types of suburbs for someone who wants something that's inbetween the calm of a suburb and the energy of a city. This tends to be the case especially around here in the bay area and silicon valley in California. San Francisco is the only true city I would say but a lot of the suburbs have energy and have downtown areas that have things like art galleries or cool independent cafes and restaurants.
