Would you have rather been raised in the suburbs?

Hell no. I've hung out in Long Island a lot in my youth and those kids are sheltered.

No it's that a lot of parents run to the suburbs for their children, yet so far it seems that most would have wanted to stay.

I had the best of both worlds. Manhattan from birth to 12 and suburbs in Florida from 12 to 18. Each had their pluses and minuses. The best park about being a teen in the suburbs was getting a car at 16 and being able to drive wherever and not have to deal with city driving when I was not as experienced behind the wheel.

No, but when I say no I mean the suburbs of NYC. I wish I grew up in a small town the mountains of Wyoming.

My wife who was born and brought up in the suburbs of Boston often likes to say " I am a New Yorker
who was born and brought up in Boston" and I like to say "I am a Bostonian who just happens to live
in New York"---

It is all about attitude--

My wife loves the city and everything about it--- Me I can take it or leave it --- it is just another place.
