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.

Impractical? For who? Not for those who can afford it.

Anything’s practical if you can afford it.

I think their poorly constructed argument is that there are non-monetary costs associated with low density housing like we have in the US. I’m not going to argue the merits or take a stance in this thread because I’m too happy being American, but resource depletion and environmental impacts (climate, physical, etc) would be some of the costs. Figured you deserved at least a good faith reply.
