I actually agree with you. I grew up in what, at least at the time, would probably properly be called ex-urban and live somewhere similar today (on 5 acres next neighbors with a lot more land as well as conservation land but within a few miles of plenty of stores, etc.).
I've never had much interest in classical suburbia but I do like cities--at least to visit.
2 hours gets you way out of even most Northeastern US cities. I'm about 90 minutes to get into Boston at rush hour if I time it right and less in the evening. I've actually commuted into the city--I also have a pretty convenient commuter rail--for some days for about a year and a half. It wouldn't have been sustainable long-term though.
