You lot all spent your twenties railing against the outdated and unsustainable lifestyles of our parents but now as soon as you sign a pre-nup suddenly you want to go and do the exact same fucking thing.

Leftists are not immune to boomer brainworms I guess. :deeper-sadness:

    As a suburbanite communist, I'll give my take. In a vacuum, yes you are not wrong, we definitely shouldn't prefer to live in suburbs. But, we live in America, and America very much encourages moving to the suburbs due to:

    1. School districts and how funds are raised
    2. Lots more open space
    3. Lots more housing development going on (more to choose from)
    4. Housing prices in city are insane
    5. All infrastructure is built around cars anyways

    It definitely sucks in many ways, mostly that its absolutely not walkable and I need to drive to get anywhere. If I lived in a better country, I'd definitely move to a more urban area if I could.
