Suburbs

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.

I find most people want low property taxes AND suburban lifestyle. These are not congruent. The fact is this development style is very expensive for local governments to maintain.
