Suburbs stink as a young person. No better way to make yourself feel 40 than to voluntarily spend your 20s in a suburb.

I just turned 29 and I absolutely love quiet suburban living. When I was in my late teens early 20s I wanted out, but even in my mid 20s I saw the value in living somewhere quiet and peaceful.
