For entertainment, I like cities better than suburbs. Hands down.

At home, I like parking in a driveway better than parking on the street.

At home, I like parking in a garage better than parking in a driveway or alley.

At home, I like parking in an attached garage better than parking in a detached one.

I like living in my own house better than an apartment.

I like living in a free-standing house better than a duplex or row house.

I like a large yard where my young kids can play with their friends and I can keep an eye on them out the window.

I want to be able to make some noise without disturbing my neighbors, and vice-versa. I don't like living cheek-by-jowl with my neighbors.

I like living in a neighborhood that has virtually no violent crime or burglaries. I don't want to have to run a gauntlet of panhandlers when I go for a walk around the neighborhood.

I prefer to live in a house built since 1978, so I don't have to deal with lead paint, asbestos, knob & tube wiring, wood lath walls, lead (water) service lines, buckling foundations, damp moldy basements, rotting, leaking box gutters, or cheap, chalky aluminum siding that was installed in 1968 over Insulbrick that was installed in 1938. Unfortunately, those houses tend to be relatively rare and exorbitantly expensive in my local city.

I don't know why so many city dwellers seem to obsess over the fact that there are many people who simply prefer living in the suburbs. But there are.
