I don't know how many Americans have lived only in suburbs. Between being a kid, a student, a young carefree professional and a parent I've lived in any combination of big, small, cheap, expensive, old, new, busy, quiet neighborhoods.

Right now my "American style" suburban house is perfect. When I'm an empty-nester I might go somewhere else, but I'm not here because I'm unaware of other options.

Only about a third of Americans older than 25 have finished college. Not long ago, that figure was more like 1 in 4.

In the time of Covid-19? I agree. Before February 2020? Hell, no. I moved to the 'burbs to a 4-bedroom house from my 2-bedroom city apartment. I'll move back when I can dine at bars and restaurants safely again.
