I’m the outlier among my friends- I grew up in the suburbs and I absolutely love them and want to go back. Nobody else I know does.
Granted, my city is huge and so living in the city feels more suburban than living downtown would.

My wife, kids, and I all have our own rooms and home offices. We have a nice backyard with screened in porch, deck, and patio. 2 car garage and can charge the electric car at home and never have to deal with bringing the groceries in during the rain.
I would never go back to living in a downtown area.
I have a couple of friends that moved downtown. One bought a house for 2X the cost of the suburbs. The other got divorced and moved to an apartment downtown. After a year of trendy restaurants and lack of space he got tired of it and is looking to move back to the suburbs.
