So ya, living in the city for 15 years, and moving to the suburbs this summer, has really given me a new perspective on life. I mean, before my parents bought a house in the burbs, we always talked about how we would never ever want to live in the suburbs because there is literally almost nothing there, and the traffic to get anywhere close to the city is insane. Fast forward and yes, we buy a house in the burbs, 30 km away from work, friends, and what I call an interesting place to live.
I hate driving to work for 1 hour each day stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. I hate being late at work when there is an accident or a hint of bad weather and everyone turns into retard zombie mode and go slow. I hate coming back from work in rush hour traffic reliving the whole experience again. When I come home I am too tired to head out anywhere, especially in my car, and I never want to drive again till the next day. Living in the city I never had this problem, I actually enjoyed driving and being at my particular destinations of choice in a matter of 5 minutes.
I think the money you save on housing living in the suburbs is in no way a payoff towards the convenience you have of living in the city at a higher price. Also I forgot to mention that there is absolutely fuck all to do in the suburbs, stores are far away, you have to have a car to get anywhere, and every weekend I get the most massive flyer bag ever created with specials at every store for me to shop in, wtf is that shit!
