How depressing is suburbia that i would rather live in f***in Juarez? But seriously, i got a job in El Paso, TX, one of the most suburban looking cities in the country, suburban style homes, strip malls, freeways, single family residential zoning, extremely car dependant, etc.

.

And then i visited juarez and i fell in love with the city. And Juarez is one of the least walkable mexican cities and its not very dense either, but it still feels much more urban and alive than El Paso. I wanted an urban lifestyle not a suburban one. So I live here now and work in El Paso,

.

The big difference is zoning laws.it is full of little corner stores, restaurants, bars, and other businesses in the middle of every residential neighborhood, and also a lot of street vendors, something that you will never see in american suburbs.

So that makes the city feel much more alive than suburbia, theres people walking outside, the street food stands are full, theres music, etc. I think just loosening zoning laws, allowing home businesses and more street vendors would do wonders for american cities

And if you do want a suburban lifestyle, thats cool, move to a suburb, suburbs have their place, i think what many of us hate is that El Paso, Phoenix, Dallas, etc, are cities not suburbs but we still cant escape suburbia not even in the cities

congrats on the move

I looked it up and it’s a 3 mile travel from El Paso.

Why do you hate suburbia so much

Making a thread about hating your area so much you decided to move down the street

Is Tijuana the same as San Diego?

Couldn’t imagine living in suburbia

Like what is there to do

Feel like people enjoy it as it’s a safe space from the challenges of an actual living life.

Good on you OP for making the move.

U had a burrito yet?

There are less meixcans in tj thats about it

I know its some bad b****es out there

Urban Sprawl

Everybody hate suburbia until they wanna sell Tylers and Chads some weed for 40 a g, then they ready to move right in smh
