Definitely. Are you in the US? Here in the suburbs things are just awful. Massive houses with 1 to 2 people, massive yards, many suburbanites grow no plants at all. It's very different from both rural neighborhoods and urban neighborhoods. But suburbanites tend to like it, and recent urban sprawl decisions in my area have been approved despite voices against them. And again to your question, people aren't happy with commutes now ... to get _anywhere_ in American suburbs you have to drive constantly. It's a draining way of life, that I can't even begin to describe well.
