To each their own. I've lived in cities and suburbs, and I personally greatly prefer the latter. I'm not alone - I promise.
It's fine if some, or even most, think that suburbia is hell on earth. Criticize suburbia all you like. Don't live there. Go someplace you enjoy. Also, try not to assume that your feeling on this matter is objectively correct.
My biggest problem is that I like neither very dense urban living, nor low-density, car-dependent suburbia. Thanks to poorly-designed zoning, the US doesn't have much "in-between" housing or density, and that's a shame. See: http://missingmiddlehousing.com/
