No city, no problem: These gays say they are way happier living in the suburbs
Cities like New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco are strongholds for LGBTQ populations, but some gay guys say they’re happier as suburbanites than urbanites.So we’ve gleaned, at least, from a thread on the topic in Reddit’s r/AskGayMen forum.
The conversation kicked last month off after one user asked, “Why live in the suburbs or country as opposed to a city?”“There’s no judgment in my question,” the original poster added. “I’m curious why so many LGBTQIA+ individuals live in the suburbs or the country as opposed to cities, which, in general, tend to be more inclusive.”Related: Reddit users say these are the most underrated cities for gaysFor one commenter, suburbs provide breathing room on a budget. “I can afford to own a home in the suburbs.
Owning in the city is too expensive,” that person wrote. “I also like having my own dedicated parking spot in my own garage.
I like the not-busy streets. I like driving to the grocery store and back. I like the quiet. I spend much of my free time at home playing video games.
