I don't understand the appeal of the suburbs. I want to be able to walk to the neighborhood corner store when I need something, not get in a car get on the freeway and drive all the way to some ugly strip mall.

What the gently caress do you guys own that you need all that space just to keep your poo poo in? Fully inflated bouncy castles? Your collection of classic cars? Also, I sometimes go on Google Street View when I'm bored at work and what the gently caress is with the gigantic lawns that everyone has in American suburbs? It's like your neighbourhoods are a series of little fields with a lovely wooden house (why WOOD for gently caress's sake) sat in the middle of each field. And you're miles and miles and miles from anything worth being close to. How can you exist, not being able to nip across the street to the corner shop when you need a loaf of bread, or strolling 2 minutes down the road to the all night garage when you have an overwhelming urge to buy a pack of cigarettes or walking into the town centre, drinking a tonne of beer, then walking back again and being home within ten minutes? Anyway, that's a lot of questions, I look forward to your insightful excuses for living in the suburban desert.

Fully inflated bouncy castles? Your collection of classic cars? Need? Nah probably not. Want? Sure. Here's an example setup of those homes: 1) Dedicated office for home business 2) Two kids, each with their own room 3) Dining room (or play room) 4) Living room 5) Kitchen 6) Nice MBR 7) 2-3 bathrooms It's really not that hard. Add in hallways and stairs which is calculated into sq/ft (garages are not) and it's not even that crazy. It's not like it's 2000 sq/ft of straight living room space. Mind you we live in I think 1,100-1,300 sq/ft with a baby, 2 dogs, and 2 cats, and we have plenty of room. The second garage isn't necessary of course, it's just cool to have for hobbies.

Sorry whatever inbred dying country in Europe you live in doesn't afford enough room for human beings to live as God intended them to, Also, if you can't go buy a loaf of bread without a stop at the bar you no doubt have a drinking problem.

Idk, brick and masonry is kinda nice looking and classic but then again I don't really live in a v earthquake prone part of the country on a relative basis, so grain of salt and all that. I totally get the allure of large living space, it's the isolation from amenities/cultural stuff and necessity to drive that sours me on the burbs, plus I just like the way urbanness feels, kind of like how some people like the way nature feels, and goes beyond architecture vs natural splendor and pretty ephemeral and hard to describe. My goal atm is like a 1,500 sf 2 bedroom with some outdoor space (be it a large balcony or a small backyard area) but I don't plan on having kids or dogs so I'm working with easier parameters than a lot of people when it comes to the city/burbs decision.

I've been in some burbclaves that were so bland and samey that it traumatized me. Like, once we were driving through a north austin suburb to get to a friend of mine's parents' house. We all lived and went to school in San Antonio so austin trips were fairly common and easy. But we kept going through this god damned suburb and every block was exactly the same. I got a very sickening feeling and also felt like I was detached from reality. Like, the only way I can explain it is a little voice going "You are now entering: The Stepford Wives. Have a nice day." accompanied by dissociation and massive dread. I expect I'd feel the exact same way if I got abducted and stuck in the Hypercube or shrunk down and put in a gerbil run. what im trying to say is ur thread triggered me, OP.

I'd definitely consider where I live a suburb b/c it's a part of the city that's almost all residences but there's still a grocery store, gas station, 7/11, etc right around the corner. alternatively plan your shopping better

I recommend growing up in a boring white-bread neighborhood in a city that has a reputation for gang violence. It's always funny when I tell a teenage boy where I'm from and he nods sagely about "Chi-raq," as if I weren't about as gangsta as an artisanal cupcake
