I&#x27;ve yet to read a single article about why surburbia sucks that would be convincing to me as a better alternative than my life growing up in suburbia.  If I wanted to play in a field, I went to the field.  If I wanted to explore the woods, I went to the woods.  Too far to walk?  I had a bike, and a skateboard.  I didn&#x27;t have to spend my life walking on pavement from concrete box to concrete box, surrounded by indifferent adults... and just the idea of it sounds positively suffocating to me.
