If the US is more suburbanised than Europe,

and if the suburbs are as vile and dispiriting as people say

should that not mean that Americans are more dissatisfied with their lives than Europeans?

But - lo and behold - 64 per cent of Americans are satisfied with their own lives,

compared to just 57 per cent of the French, 54 per cent of Britons, 53 of Italians and 49 of Germans.

It seems to me that those who live in the Suburbs might not share LBOers estimation that they are soulless and alienated
