The suburbs kinda suck, and you should stop moving there when you have kids. Kids being able to go places is actually really good for their development and there are no shops or 3rd places in the Suburbs. Just think, if you had a kid would you rather live in a cool canopied historic streetcar suburb with a corner store down the street and an ice cream place a few blocks away or would you want to live on a hot miserable suburb where you can't walk anywhere but other people's houses
It’d funny honestly, people complain that children stay inside but like, they have no where to go, if a kid wants to get ice cream they need to be driven halfway across town, if they want a soda and you don’t have one in your fridge, you need to go to the massive super store instead of a local corner store. Suburbanisation is a major factor in the growing isolation in young people as the sprawl of cities have pushed people further and further away from any sort of mixed use environment.
