I'm with you. Once you've seen one strip mall, you've seen them all.

That's not all suburbs are. Suburbs aren't always suburban.

Like here. It's considered a suburb.

Suburbs are a disaster.

How about city (New York City, that is) during the week and country (aka The Hamptons) during the weekends?

I've lived in both cities and suburbs. For me, the city is definitely superior.

City only to spend time in.

If I had to pick though: suburbs of course.

I prefer the city next to all the nightlife. I can even walk to clubs and avoid drunk driving, traffic, and parking.
