I think most people here have the opposite experience, they grew up in suburbia and like to hate it now and love the city with its restaurants, night life, public transport. The grass is greener type thing.

I also grew up in the city, had loud neighbors, flooding us, elevators full of piss, sometimes didn't work and had to climb stairs 9 floors up. Public transport was fun and great, unless people step on your toes or there are pickpockets and such. For all the hate suburbia gets here, I'll pay extra for my house and a lawn.

It's a cycle. I grew up in the suburbs, swore against ever living in that kind of environment again when I went to college. After college and spending 4 years in New York and having a kid, I long for the suburbs again.
