Here's the deal. Someday you will grow up, get married, have kids, get divorced and so on... You will want to protect you little ones so you will move to some cookie cuter burb in hopes of "safety" and "good" schools with less of those "bad" kids. You will then join a mega church and renounce you foolish younger days in the city. Another reason for moving is less expensive housing; thus forcing you to drive 2 hours to work every day.
Have fun.
And yes the burbs are lame, I grew up in one outside of Cincinati Ohio.
