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.

Most car dependent suburbs are not this pretty.

Mine is. Most of the ones around here are, well, except the new ones where they cut down all the trees. But they grow back over time.

Does yours also have not a single car or person in sight?

I just don’t see why they need to cut down all the trees. They then replace those trees with fast growing non-native species so a lot of them die and cause damage when there are big storms. Places like Reston, VA kept most of their trees when being built and look and feel way better.

Obviously taken on a weekday, you know when people are at work and kids are at school.
