Is California really the first place you think of when you're thinking of "American suburbia" stereotype. Honestly?
Every city has mcmansions but I would think California would have fewer per capita. Homes are tiny out here.
California is absolutely part of it, yes. Southern California is known for its sprawling suburbs, that's all OC and the Valley are, right? For stereotypical suburbs, the states I think of first are California, Texas, and Florida.
When I think of suburbs I think of the San Fernando Valley or Orange County in Southern California in the 1980's with the valley girl and those movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and stuff like that .

So your perception of suburbia was cemented 40 years ago?

There’s nothing wrong with his perception.
How many of those who chose Ohio or Northeast suburbs as what they consider the stereotype American suburbs share the similar notion from the general “All American†Americana idea commonly among the 1950’s TV shows such as Leave it to Beaver or 1970’s The Waltons?
Netflix Stranger Things for example “borrowed†the idea from the 1980s and took place in suburban Indiana. It’s very popular among Gen Z, so are you going to make fun of Gen Z since the show’s background was set from 40 yrs ago?
I'm not following your logic. Stranger Things is neither filmed in 1980s California, nor does the story take place there. Hawkins is a small town in rural Indiana, not suburbia.

How is this surprising? Most people have particular ideas of something from when they were younger. My perception of suburbia was solidified during the 90s/2000s when I saw California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, on TV and in media.

What is wrong with that?
Ohio is winning this poll, yet I when I hear the word suburban, I do not even think of Ohio at all. I think New Jersey, California, Florida, Texas, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, etc.

We all have different ideas of suburbia.
Are you trolling? And is this necessary? (Sarcasm)
Or is pointing out how humans often reflect on their youth as being more positive than it actually was an adequate response to this question?
Im just making a statement that a lot of places where suburban life in Southern California used to be is now dead because of crime , traffic, pollution , because of white flight and other factors. It moved further out of the cities like Ventura County . Case in point the San Fernando Valley isn't suburban anymore, a few parts of the West Valley is and along Ventura BLVD maybe Calabasas . Its just a extension of the LA metropolitan area.

Thats true. California is unique. Its suburbs are different from the Midwest or East Coast.
