Sorry, but where's the data on "the overwhelming majority of people don't choose to live in suburbs"? Where are all the ghost suburbs that should be all around us?
I know a bit about the other side of the coin: the overwhelming majority of people who would love to be able to live in an american suburb. They are called poor people.
I too would probably want to leave, had I grown up there. But, today, older and a little bit wiser, I know it's not the shit hole that people say it is. Go start a family, go live in somewhere where there are guns going off weekly. The suburbs will have its reason to be. It's not the funnest, most open, most inspiring place to live, not by a long shot. But it's not empty for a reason.
