CMV: Suburban life > Urban life

Change my view - life in the suburbs is easier, more comfortable, and cheaper. 

For the price of renting a one bedroom apartment in a big city, you can own a 3 bedroom house in the suburbs. Instead of cramming into a crowded subway and hoping to get a seat, you drive to work in air conditioned luxury in your own car. You can go to the grocery store and come home with more than 1 bag of groceries because you can easily load it into your car. If you do have a car in the city, driving and parking are both a nightmare compared to the suburbs. Raising kids in the suburbs, the schools are better, you have a yard to play in, and they can bike around the neighborhood. 

Now, there is more culture in the city - more museums, plays, concerts, etc. And in the suburbs, you're just a 45 minute train ride away from that.

So it seems to me that the extra space, comfort, and savings of the suburbs apply nearly 365 days a year, and it's more inconvenient maybe a dozen times a year when you have to trek into the city.

This depends largely on your city's zoning policies.  In a city which allows a lot of high rise construction, you can see condos becoming the dominant form of housing and providing a better price point for most buyers.  This is the case in Toronto right now.

>Instead of cramming into a crowded subway and hoping to get a seat, you drive to work in air conditioned luxury in your own car.

Which can sit in traffic for an hour+ each way if your job is downtown, whereas you might be a 20 minute or less commute away if you live in the city.

>You can go to the grocery store and come home with more than 1 bag of groceries because you can easily load it into your car.

Or you can use a grocery delivery service.

Generally accurate, yes.

>Raising kids in the suburbs, the schools are better, you have a yard to play in, and they can bike around the neighborhood.

They also have a lot more stuff to explore in the city, and often city schools can be just as good, though in the USA there tends to be a harder divide because of the white flight and segregationist housing policies that followed _Brown v. Board of Education._  In a place like Toronto though, the city schools are fine.

Is urban life better for everyone? No, but it's not some hellscape from which people are desperate to escape either.
