The facade is based on the fact that everyone is happy, as long as no one sees what goes on behind closed doors. Big cities get a rap for being congested, crime infested, dark places. And more often than not, big cities have a lot more to offer and people are portrayed as being more up front with others. Suburbanites always get the nice house, good job, 2-3 kids with a dog. But that kind of life is also portrayed as boring. Many people in the suburbs DO put up a front because they don't want to be seen as a bad or eclectic person. They want to fit in with their surroundings much more than city people, so they tend to hide their secrets. That's why their facade is seen as empty, because people just can't be themselves.</p></blockquote><p></p>
