Self-driving cars will make mass transit obsolete. America backed the right horse when we chose to build car-centric cities.

Do Europeans care?

They are angry at inexpensive and high-quality living.
Many do not have these available to them.
That said, cookie-cutter suburbs like in the OP are kinda ugly. I remember the last suburb I lived in was a closed oval (with some shoot-off dead-end roads on the sides) that was built up in the 90s and had houses of all different sorts, and the yard sizes varied wildly, too, I had over 3 acres of land.
Now I have over 20 acres but that's because I moved to a more rural area.
Feels good, man.

There's something uncomfortably fascist about the layout. I'm sure it's very practical and probably quite nice to live there, but the planned zoning evident in much of the States is at odds with the organic expansion of many Euro cities.

>fascism
>ever uncomfortable

It's because it's a waste of space that only exists because of the car. Every city here outside of New England is designed around having a car. It has become a requirement with amenities miles away from ones home. Pretty fucking shit.

They dont live in one

>nocarfag detected

I completely understand that and agree, but it seems whenever people talk about suburbs, they post things like OP's picture, and not suburbs that are more organic with varying yard sizes and completely different houses. Those are the best, I think. I'm biased, of course, but the planned ones like OP are indeed weird, but they have all the pros that a more organic suburb has, such as being closer to town and being far enough away for peace and quiet. It's great for children who enjoy biking around to and from friend's houses. I wish I still had friends.

More importantly, why do WE care what the Eurofucks think about American suburbs? Insufficient concentration of white people to sustain Paki child molestation rings or Muslim mass rapes during holidays makes the Eurabian fear the American suburb.

It will help, but really not even close, especially if everyone still wants their own self driving car.

I have a car and suburbs are still shit.

Jealousy. They want Americans to live in little isocubes stacked on top of an all-night disco like europeans are forced to.

Not really triggered, I just don't understand how anyone would want to live like that. It looks like you're fully integrated into a system that I personally want no part in.

Each to his own.

Oh yeah I always notice these types of streets in American media. It looks like nice living.

I guess we're more use to squashed up terraced houses.

Agreed

the capitalist equivalent of soviet commieblocks

What bothers me the most about urban expansion west of the Rocky Mountains is that the back yards are so small, there are no trees around any of the houses, and people don't seem to mind.

Now that house is pretty top-tier.
>trees
>enough space to just be comfortable enough
>nice, brick house
It's a shame it's not at least two stories, but it might have a basement.

>Living in DR

No wonder you think Suburbs are shit. I would think so too if I were still living there.

This desu. I live in a white, upper middle class suburb. I have a nice house, spacious yard, and plenty of shops and restaurants just a 5-15 minute drive away.

Yuropeens are just mad they live in crowded shithole cities.

Those boring mass produced '''homes''' perfectly fit the vapid life of most Americans

Obvious slide/10

Dividing/10

What's funny is Brits live in suburbs too, they just don't have yards or space from anyone. Their houses are bunched together.

>people choosing the house they live in and possibly seems fascist

I don't think you know the meaning of the word brah.

IM TRIGGERED BY THAT FUCK

pic related is how suburbs should look

Still no yards. Defeating the point of a separate building. Not enough space to negate noise carrying over either.

And the people... in the boxes... all went to the university...

Pic related is how it should look

And that's the way most do look, not that clichéd Long Island first-gen tract housing.

kek - if you visit, remember to sample the fine local water, full of heavy metal contamination.

what does a suburb stand for?
Just a neighborhood?

It seems to have two stories, or at least a mezzanine on the right.

i feel like this is worse

>there are no trees around any of the houses
yet

I can see saplings planted in almost every front yard

Suburb is short for sub-urban, my Mongolian friend. As in urban, suburban and rural.

so these are neighborhoods built some miles away from the city?

That looks like a screenshot from Sim City.

In US English, a city (the stereotypical one) is described as "urban". Mostly residential areas outside the city proper (but most often between 30-60 minute auto commute, or around 45 km away, are suburbs. Beyond a 60 minute automobile commute (not including traffic delays) are the "exurbs". A city's urban, suburban, and significant exurbs are commonly referred to as a "metropolitan area" (so you may hear "Chicagoland" or "Greater Chicago" or the "Chicago metro area".

>fascist
STOP MISUSING THE WORD FASCIST.

Fascist does not mean "thing I don't like" you illiterate.

The fascists were very fond of aesthetics, and strove to make every building they created as aesthetic as possible, as well as their towns and cities. The Germans were into grand neo-classical structures, but of unprecedented size and majesty. The Italians were into a more modern style.

Who built rows and rows and rows of the same hideous-looking building? THE COMMUNISTS. THE LEFTISTS. The communists considered aesthetics to be a bourgeois concept, and as a consequence, made everything as ugly and utilitarian as possible.

IT probably houses twice as many people in the same land area

this is a bad thing btw, we have the smallest houses in Europe, comparable to Japan in average size

Yes, a key characteristic of a suburban neighbourhood would be its proximity to a city. It's usually far enough to escape the rampant dindus, but close enough where people can commute for work.

>The fascists were very fond of aesthetics, and strove to make every building they created as aesthetic as possible

Speer says differently

That pic is from Commiefornia I bet. I can see scrubland between the yards.

I wonder how much water is used to keep all those shitty lawns nice and green in the middle of arid land.

Neighborhoods like that have no soul to them, all the houses are cheap look-alikes. Not to mention that there are almost no trees, none that haven't been curated like those perfect lawns. Personally, I think suburban sprawl is a disease and would much rather live in

Kiwi in Slovenia, im in the middle of no where and they they still have apartments, wtf there is so much land just build fucking houses

For comparison, here is a soviet city

> just a 5-15 minute drive away.
This shit is what I'm talking about. 15 minute drive? Do you ever walk? Can you even walk to these places?

City sprawl is bullshit.

And there are, as the other responder noted, rural areas. These tend to be grouped at the US county (or, in Louisiana, "parish") level. Cook County in Illinois is mostly Chicago proper, plus older urbanizing suburbs, but it also includes a few small rural pockets. Counties surrounding Cook are mostly a mix of suburbs, rural areas, and rural areas recently or currently being built up into suburbs.

I always loved communist architecture. Fascist architecture was never really good

That's because Britain has too many God damn people.

In most of the US, this density screams "ghetto".

>Why do stupid faggots with to much free time get so triggered by suburbs?
fixed that for you bud

Very true.

not that guy but..

if you can walk to your destination that means you are in a dense area

call me simple but I like my space

Soviet industrial and monumental architecture can be marvelous. This, however, is just brutal and soulless.

>those lots where the front yard is bigger than the back yard

This unironically triggers me. I'd never buy a house like that.

Soviet buildings fill you with optimism.

If you live in one, you know that things can't get any worse.

a european's mood is directly correlated to their distance from the street

Spotted the commie.

why not both tho?

unless of course if it is NYC it costs a million

Nope, it's down to poor city planning and a refusal to expand outwards.

Our (normally socialist) city designers much prefer extremely high density housing estates, like Red Road Flats in Glasgow, which were 4 tower blocks over a 6 acre area, housing 7500 people

Nowadays they've moved to smaller developments (same idea, just not as tall, typically only a few hundred people/acre) but the same idea keep prevailing over "hey look at all this land outside the city that we could expand into and have houses that aren't 100sq feet for a family"

>someone who's never seen the interior of a czech commie block

They're pretty swank inside m8.

The British housing estate is almost certainly twice the cost, for 1/3rd the living area, with no parking

My fear with american suburbs is the fact that i would have trouble finding my home.
However, i'd pick the suburbs over commieblocks any day

We suburbanites don't like our Applebee's and Wal-Marts to be right next door to us. It's very efficient because one small area of real estate not appropriate for residential use can be shared commercial space for several adjoining suburbs.

It is lame to live in one of those type neighborhoods.

1 Expensive for a shit built power house
2 Home-owner associationharrasement and fees
3 Closet crack head suburban dads
4 Cant even park your car to fix it on the driveway
5. Cant park your car on the street at night
6 ... Its boring and you can not walk anywhere, always have to rely on your car to drive 15 minutes to the closest shopping mall

Suburbs are garbage.

why do you rely on "city designers" so heavily? can't you just purchase rural land and build a home on it?

This is the think I hate the most about suburbs. Why the fuck can't we have corner stores in our neighborhoods? I just want something I can walk to at like 2am, that's not a mile away.

but commieblocks are so comfy tho

STOP FUCKING POSTING PICTURES LIKE THAT

99.99% OF SUBURBS LOOK LIKE THIS. THOSE MIDWEST/WEST SUBURBS ARE NOT THE MAJORITY STOP PSOTING THEM

THIS IS WHAT THE AVERAGE SUBURB LOOKS LIKE RRRRREEEEEEEEEE

That's the socialist utopia, bourgeois scum!

All our rural land is owned by either the state (national parks, will never EVER sell) or farmers (will demand several hundred thousand an acre)

The only real option is to buy up cheap inner city land and redevelop it, which results in more and more of pic related

>26 floors
>4 flats to a floor
>104 flats
>housing for potentially up to 412 people

Shut up, leaf.

In the statement you're misremembering Speer literally names architecture among the subjects they DID study.

Not to mention that when he said that, Speer was just doing a little dance for the Jews to save his own skin.

Go suck off a dog

there's almost no personality over them
I feel that your home should reflect who you are, as a person
Also, so many people crammed into a building must be odd

I live in a suburb area

That's gorgeous. But keep in mind most of the US away from the Atlantic Coast was settled by Whites within the last 200 years. Older cities such as Boston (est. 1636) and old parts of NYC (18th C.) have nice little streets and old row houses, but they are very expensive.

Your pic is just the same as his pic, just 20 years later.

um what? most us suburbs aren't fucking levittown shitholes, every house is pretty different.

besides, if you lived in us suburbs you would realize how ridiculous this comment is. this is basically like a white person saying all asians look the same or w.e

not 99.99% but a lot are closer to this, the SimCity neighborhoods are traps for people looking for a cheap home and inevitably end up half foreclosed or never finished

We do. We have gas stations and supermarkets within walking distance that are open 24/7.

What you posted here is the exact same thing that he posted. It's just 20 years later and on the ground.

One of my mates lived in the aforementioned Red Road flats when I was a kid

It was strange, going up 10 flights of stairs, and past probably hundreds of people, yet neither of us knew a single one of them

>Implying that Asians don't all look the same.

Because we want to keep the urban youths like you who are out at 2 am away from our homes. Nothing good ever ever happens at the corner store. Stay in the city, nigger.

They just hate dry walls and cars in general.

To make this understandable to Yanks, it's very similar to how the US government owns most of the land in several western states. Just shrink Nevada and New Mexico down to the size of New England, keeping the federal proportion the same, and you will see just how little space there is for cities to expand in England at least. And English cities are overcrowded compared to their historical pre-war population densities.

Don't disagree entirely about Russia, but when I first immigrated to Canada I lived in commieblocks that looked like that near the airport in Toronto. According to Google Street View those miserable buildings are still there.

Jealousy mostly, as with hatred toward everything that doesn't affect you (or them) directly.

You do realize that you planned most of our early cities? Boston layout is a prime example.

Here is the difference between US and Europe city layout

>Europe = circle
>America =square

You can see them both in Boston

Also it wouldn't help when taking in refugees in droves. Wouldn't they drive up the prices of every square meter of land?

They already have, certain areas of Glasgow are majority populated by Muslims, and as a result those areas are relatively cheap, while the surrounding, predominately white areas are far more expensive

I fucking love the suburbs, great for raising a family. Large backyards, not too much traffic outside, so kids are able to play in the street and have fun. You can get shit like water, etc. delivered to your home. It's not bad at all, in fact, I prefer it. When we moved out of the suburbs as a kid, shit was so bad. Cars passing by your street all the time, so you can't play. Too much activity 24/7.

Suburbs are the best.

Terraced housing can look nice if its taken care of. Look at central london.

And I thought commieblocks were the pinnacle of shitty urban planning... until I saw this.

That shit sucks so bad. I had the best times of my living in the suburbs. It's nice looking, organized, and you have room to do whatever you want. People who think otherwise are either retarded, or never lived in the suburbs themselves. They act like stores are impossible to find too. There's literally the neatest and newest stores that pop up all over the place in suburbs.

I love not having undomociled alcoholics pissing on the entrance to my apartment building and urban youths of diverse color breaking into every car in the street. I also like not having tax-crazy, White-hating local "government".
