Suburbs

Post image

I can never get over how American suburbs look like. Every time I walk through one I wonder why they cant be accomplished more around the world. The yards, the safe feeling, and the homes. (I think Chile tried to replicate a bit) I just think it’s one of the beauties America has.

Suburbs (and their single family houses) are a very expensive way of producing housing. Why don't other countries try imitating? Suburbs are a very expensive way of producing housing. Our wealth helps us ignore some of the problems associated with suburb's costs.

Really? Because usually it's sprawled out cities and suburb communities that have the cheaper rents and build the most housing.

Subsidies my friend, it's essentially a ponzi scheme when you look into it
