Further away from
work, more gas: Most big cities have major traffic congestion
problems. This can put someone who only lives 20 miles away with an hour
long commute. This problem can be fixed if you live in a city with a good
transit system or a city that has car pool lanes and you find a good car
pool group with work.
Away from the
nightlife: For some this may actually be a pro. But the further
you are from the city the less likely there will be an exciting nightlife
at your fingertips. If you are not a family, but a young couple, or
single, living in the suburbs may prove to be a bit boring.
