urban, suburban or rural kids

[cheerfulchaotic]

So, when asked very recently about raising kids in the burbs v the city, I talked about my experience growing up in the burbs (hated it, especially the dependency for transportation.)

And then I proceeded to make a series of almost totally unsupported, kneejerk, anti-suburban statements, peppered with admissions of ignorance.

Is there any research on this? What about you parents, rural, suburban and urban? What do you think?
