Does America have villages? As in small (around a couple of hundred of people) settlements isolated from larger urban areas? Maybe with a couple of shops and a church, etc.
Someone said they don't really exist and most settlements are just considered suburbs (extensions of cities), which I find hard to believe. Are there no colonial-era villages dotted around?

yeah these exist but they're rarely picturesque. you'll usually find an older tavern that may still be functioning as a bar but covered in like vinyl siding and a few older stone or brick structures on the main street
Small New England towns are the closest things. You would have a common at the center of the town, surrounded by the church and some houses. Small coastal towns can also be considered similar. Even in these situations they were still further apart than in European villages
the only ones that are going to look nearly as good as that are in knetucky or tennesee, they are pretty common in the appalachians and south, but going to look pretty worn down.
Nice.
On Google Maps they seem pretty rare. At best there's the occasional farmhouse, but genuin rural villages seem uncommon.
NJ as a lot of very small towns like this
in varying states of quality (either very desirable or mostly derelict)
Ehhh look its Sweden
I miss NJ. North-north and the beach towns in central jersey are 10/10. Everywhere else looks like the Soviet Union or Alabama.
There are actual quite a few but they are a hidden gem and outsiders are not allowed.
Yes but they usually come under the jurisdiction of larger towns/cities.
What is "north-north"?
t. North Jerseyan
Yeah this is pretty much it.
They're not all in New England, that's just where all the pretty ones are. You'll find small areas with a couple hundred people all of places like Montana the flyover country
North of Bridgewater and West of any sign that shows Newark nearby.
I live in Edison and it's pretty comfy in the apartment complex I'm in. I lucked out and got in the good one, the other two apartment complexes nearby are full of niggers. This one is just full of Chinks and Indians, but it's much better than the alternative.
South Jeresy is better.
>What is "north-north"?
Maybe closer to New York? That's a lie, though. NJ gets worse the closer you get to NY.
I'm from Central New Jersey and I honestly thought this was just basic life style in the US, never really realized I see this primarily in the Northeast.
huh
Central Jersey is a bubble, my dude.
The rest of the nation is either dying, a ghetto, or rapidly modernizing, so it looks fake.
Where? I lived in Highland Park a few years. Some of the boroughs and town centers are nice but places like Edison are shitholes.
monmouth county
I was born and raised there. I hated it growing up, but now that I work and live outside of that place, I would like to move back and start a family if I could.
Edison isn't that bad.
yeah it's nice, expensive though which is unfortunate
>Edison isn't that bad
Its shitty houses, strip malls and divided highways.
I used to live in number 8 on that list. I love that area, but it's tick country now.
It's tick country all over
Yea and they usually look like this.
or this. at least in the north east.
that's beautiful. maybe i can live in one like that one day
The sort of small settlement which you call villages are holdovers from societies which practiced subsistence agriculture. More modern countries instead had homesteads surrounded by a several hundred acre estate which a a single family should be able to farm.
If your burg doesn't have a tower, castle or catacomb it's not part of Europe
not really relevant to thread is it guiseppe?
I'm from CT and have lived in NJ. The whole Northeast is covered in ticks.
Is this a ghost town? Why is it so empty in the middle of the day?
There a bunch in the mountains in washington state

We call them towns, and yes the midwest and the south have them too.
he really is referring to a different size than that
