Sorry, but American suburbs are far worse than any pics of downtowns on this sub. It fails at everything: Affordable mass housing? No. Accessibility and ease of getting to places? No. Close to nature? Nope, it's all imported grass only being kept alive by fertilizers and poisoning the actual nature.
