I find it interesting that people in this thread are quick to point out that you might not save much money when you move to the suburbs because of transit and extra time costs. I think people are failing to realize a large people do (and I plan to soon) move to the 'burbs is because they can OWN a house. Even if owning won't save money over renting, there's a lot to be said for having something that big to call your own. Something you can create your own lasting memories in.
