Doesn't resemble Houston, but it could definitely pass as a suburb.

By posting that you just proved that you didn't know what a suburb was.

A little. 3rd ward houses tend to be bricked or stoned and a little further apart.

Actually besides the outer areas on Long Island, KONY is right. New York City doesn't really have suburbs in New Jersey. Jersey City & Newark among other cities in New Jersey are all cities of their own, principle cities at that. There is literally nothing suburban like about Jersey City & Newark.

Maybe the side on Connecticut, but I doubt a heavy population is there over New Jersey for the metropolitan area.

I agree with other cities on that list of people who predominantly live in suburbs over their principle cities but New York City is actually an exception to that rule, New Jersey has their own cities which are not at all suburbs. They are more likely known as satellite cities.

The guy said most nyers are living in suburbs thats not true. Those are just neighborhoods that exist in the outskirts of boroughs. Thats just one block the next block could be incredibly urban. One to three blocks of houses do not equal suburban living

Queens and Brooklyn have "suburban" looking areas if we're going to go by single family homes. What does suburban look like anyway? It's different everywhere you go.

Thank you. A couple of streets in queens with houses does not equal suburban

Except in that case the next block looked the same. Don't nitpick, it was clear that he was talking about metros and not cities proper. More people in the NYC MSA live in the suburbs than actually live in the city.

Secondly, since when does a suburb have to be all low density housing? That's news to me.
