I live in a suburb and as I type this from my home office, I look out the window and see a nice young family with a young child going for a walk with their dog.  They look quite happy.  There experience doesn't seem to be unpleasant or intolerable.
Oh yeah and about 20 min. ago there was a group of three teenagers that went riding by on their bikes.  They also looked like they we enjoying themselves.
