I've lived in all of them.
Lived in the big city until around second grade, mostly staying with others. Lots of happy memories, but I was young. I loved living in the creepy basement across from the tank of pythons, and everything was close enough to walk or bike to.
For the better part of my life I would spend half the year staying with my dad and his family in their fancy rich folk gated community, which I think counts as a suburb. People there suck. The kids, the parents, the old folks, all cookie cutter snobs who looked down on anyone who wasn't exactly like them. My stepmothers family lived in the more traditional suburbs and the people there had the same attitude but were slightly less fancy.
Lived in a small town from second to seventh grade and that also sucked. Idk which I'd say was worse between that and the suburbs.
Then we moved out into the country, first on a farm which was okay, and then to this trailer park in the middle of a corn field, which sucks. Living an hour away from everything is so inconvenient.

I think gated communities are their own category.

Like I said, same vibes and amount of wasps.

To be more serious, I think they're both an everywhere kind of thing but they seem to concentrate more in specific places. Like out here in the country we got these three inch long cicada killer wasps that live in the dirt! Only way to get rid of them is to dig up the top two feet of soil and replace it, so for two months of the year we just can't mow our yards.

[quote]and everything was close enough to walk or bike to.[/quote] Man, that sounds amazing! I almost want to move to a city, now! I mean, if movies & junk are anything to go by then sidewalks are also a lot more crowded, which sounds not-amazing, but I hate driving. I think crowded sidewalks would be worth it.

The sidewalks weren't packed shoulder to shoulder like in the movies. I think that's mostly business and market areas, not residentials
