you have a good voice for this kind of thing
Dec 30, 2021·editedAll car centric suburbia is ugly as f*** if we’re being honest. Even midrise housing is undermined either with parking lots or a massive garage with greater ratio of spaces dedicated to cars. Total inefficient and probably why a lot of American cities suck 😵💫

But North American cities suckkkk man. The infrastructure is just down right hostile for normal people and is built for soulless burbs and cars
There’s a couple exceptions nyc, montreal, boston, chicago, toronto, DC, SF etc and a couple trying to revamp in a dif direction like atl and austin but even then you go 15-30 minutes out of the core of any of these places and it’s the same soulless car burbs
We need more medium density homes like in europe so we can actually build neighborhoods with character and culture. And every city over 750k needs like hella buses and rail (overground or underground) plus more quality options connecting major hubs. Imagine taking a cheap 1.5 hour train from philly to nyc
Cars companies really built the idea that you need a car to live in your own neighborhood or town
I f***ing hate it. I'm glad I live in a neighborhood that has a small convenience store on the corner like 10 mins away. Can't imagine driving out your neighborhood for like 5-10 mins every time you leave

New Orleans has terrible public transit, but it has to be the most walkable city in years south

I hate them. They're super slow.
Also, the one I live by has been shut down due to a building collapse from 2 years ago

Top 3 city but has some of the worst traffic ive ever experienced in my life
(missed a flight going out mexico city despite leaving like 4 hours before it)

It’s jarring how a person can make all the right moves in their 80 year life to own one of these after a developer has acquired enough wealth to built hundreds or thousands of these. Couple of these neighborhoods in my town and i wouldn’t mind living in one

i hate them too especially in those dead end cities with nothing to do. They just build mcmansions and they all look the same!

thats what im sayin
s*** look so goodThat’s not a mcmansion tho, mcmansions are those houses that have the same overly safe architectural design and get copypasted along an entire block. This one’s more of a Mediterranean villa

What’s so bad about metro areas with a clear city center?
I was considering moving to Dallas or Houston and the homes 25-30 minutes out from the cities are beautiful. I was looking at 5k sq ft+ 4+ bedrooms for only 6-800k. If I want that in nyc where I am now then it’s a 10 million+ condo or 2 million+ home 20-30 minutes outside the city
I always see people say Texas cities are the worst examples of urban planning but it doesn’t seem too bad. I’ve lived in nyc all my life and stopped taking public transportation in favor of driving anyway.

Because it’s an unsustainable form of urbanization
Land resources are finite, energy used to fuel car dependent burbs has real material effects on our environment, not everyone can or should drive, you lock out low-income and low mobility people from resources and a relatively good quality of life
Im not anti single homes but Texas is absolutely the worst example u could use. Cities like houston and dallas as large and diverse as they are should absolutely be bustling, cultural centres yet what you have is huge highways cutting through no sort of life in the city limits and people just driving to the city for work
You should kno this especially cus u lived in nyc where there are a million things to do and the density and the public transport is what allows for that
