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.

I think most people like having a car and prefer it over taking public transportation with the poors

That’s because it’s underfunded because it’s impractical in sprawling cities. If you’d live in a better planned city public transit would be more practical, more people would use it and thus it’d receive more funding. In which case it doesn’t have to suck.

Public transit is used by all layers of society in my city and it’s clean, fast and reliable.

Bet my car is faster, cleaner, and more reliable.

It’s not. Unless you decide to go off road. Cars get stuck in traffic, our public transit does not.
