But not everyone wants to live in an urban environment. To state that an urban environment is better than suburban without facts to back up that statement is being pompous. I would like to point out that every city in the world has suburbs with people living in an suburban environment, EVERY city!
The statistic I find proving that a suburban environment is better for kids and families is better grades on standardize tests from suburban schools. But maybe I'm wrong with that opinion, but I'll let you prove that by providing links, I'm getting tired posting data while everyone else gets away avoiding that task.
