The houses came first. The infrastructure is starting to catch up. The closest stores were still about twenty miles (nearest town).

In any case, if you don't like it in the suburbs, move.

Sure, but I am being asked to make (and pay for) changes that I did not ask for (and am not fond of). I know it is all just part of "the way things are" and I am not expecting anything to change back.
