You're confusing suburban with rural.
This is suburban:

I guess you grew up rural and want to raise your children rural. Which I can totally understand.
No, I grew up in a suburb of Toronto. Now we live in a small town around 2 hours outside of the city.
I get what you are saying. Suburbs aren't that much better than the city but still preferable in my book.
