It's not that suburbanites are less prepared, it's that suburban sprawl, poor city planning, and the prevalence of (and reliance on) big box supermarkets have created a perfect storm of inconvenience for simple necessities in suburban areas. Obviously rural and urban areas can suffer from these issues and more as well, but the meme is that suburbs essentially combine the worst aspects of both. Instead of having local food production in rural areas or convenient shops within walking distance in urban areas, you have no local food supplies and still have to drive decent distances or fight traffic to do something as simple as going to the shop for a handful of eggs.
