Comments by "alex smith" (@alexsmith-ob3lu) on "What is a suburb?" video.
Cities are for wealthy people, while the areas surrounding the city are where all the poor people live. Suburbs historically have been a mix of middle class and working class folk who live near a city, since that is where you'd traditionally find a bunch of manufacturing, public sector, services, and commercial jobs. As the city grew, the outskirts would get swallowed up by wealthy real estate developers, which in turn allows the ordinary middle class or working class folk to sell their property for a high price, make a profit and move out financially better.
