Suburbs take the very worst from both the city and the country and combine them into one giant sprawl of sh*t. They're isolated, have no sense of history or personality, back onto wide, busy main roads, and the only culture is found in strip malls. Wheather i'm driving out of the city or back into it, watching the row upon row of near-identical houses go by always disgusts me to no end.
If i'm living in a city, I'm living IN the city. If i'm living in the country, i'm living in a small town in the mountains where a 20 minute walk can bring me into isolated nature and the feeling that no one is around for miles.
