Why do americans live like this?

That your fantasy?

So we can raise school shooters

Not a fan of modern developments but in general suburbs are comfy.

It's pretty solidly middle class where both parent generally work and they have a 30 year mortgage

Holy shit, I always thought that the american housing in TV-series was a satirical thing, like in arrested development.

They unironically have this little garden space? And their houses are like right next to each other..

Glad I don't live in a cities: skyline world.

maybe 10% of the population lives in suburbs. Everybody else lives in Neighborhoods

wtf, those prices are cheap af

I kinda love that real state atusim... looks eficcient

what does a house like that usually costs?

I didn't meet a nonwhite person until high school
My parents are incredibly racist and I hated nonwhites until college
Now I have a nonwhite girlfriend and my dad refuses to speak to me because of this

300,000 to a million dollars depending on location

Houses made of wood

Top kek

Hundred of thousands of years of seperate breeding, only for you to racemix... now?

Why?

That's how much they cost in flyover land.

>dad refuses to speak to me because if this
Good. He should disinherit you.

german villages have houses made of wood too

He doesn't have much for me to inherit
I don't really want the house since I live in California now and don't really want to go back to Wyoming

Partly wooden walls usualy

Is your gf black?

Cuban but she told me her grandma is black

the problem with this is not the houses themselves, its the car-centrism
>norgecuck doesnt have a garden

i dont see the issue with us making our houses out of wood. It's super cheap and we needed to supply the massive demand for new houses since basically the mid 1800s

i swear the only people that bitch about the suburbs are spoiled cunts that were lucky enough to grow up in a nice neighborhood like in the OP and fantasize about how nice urban living is.

almost everyone i've met who grew up in a major city would fucking kill to live in a nice homogenized suburban neighborhood with a nice clean yard, well maintained roads, and non piece of shit neighbors.

I grew up in Casper WY (glorified suburb) and prefer urban living desu

Wait until you see how Canadians live

May as well just make them rowhouses at that point

well that did destroy literally all of the old growth in the pnw

people don't want to have a yard, they only keep them as a facade
guarantee almost everyone in that photo pays someone else to maintain their yard

Wtf I HATE QC now

Because it's better than living in rundown shitholes

There's still some left but 99% was bound to be chopped down for shipmaking and lumber. There is a lot of preservations now and it'll come back eventually. but to think that there were trees in the seattle area that rivaled redwood sequoias in CA is pretty insane

home sweet home

>it'll come back eventually
long long after we're all dead
It's likely it took quite a long time, much longer than the age of the trees, for old growth to accumulate because fires would have constantly afflicted them
though the old growth trees were so big forest fires didn't do shit to them

I fucking hate suburbia so fucking much. I will never live in a large city for that sole purpose

notice the corners on all of the sidewalks are much more rounded in comparison to older neighborhoods
those streets look like they're designed for people to take turns going 45

I'm so glad I'm not living with my parents until i'm 45. Spread your wings Pekka, don't be scared.

I like that they at least curve the streets so it's not just a perfect grid. That would be a lot worse

Are you autistic? They're the same thing.

Your country also has 10% the population of ours.

Yeah nah, they look bigger from above but none of these would be over 350k unless we're talking California or New England.

add some smog and it'd look like China

Urban living sucks ass. Always loud, always dirty, always near some ghetto, no privacy and housing costs that rival good suburb houses.

Yeah, living in a 1200sqft 2 bedroom 1 bath with a 4-5 person family above your shitty shop while hearing the neighbors pound it out every other night sounds luxurious.

These are lower class suburbs. Middle class and Upper middle class are usually built on bigger lots with significantly more room and privacy between houses.

>suburbs and neighborhoods are the same thing
No. Suburbs are identical houses that were planned and constructed by a land developer. Neighborhoods house lots that were individually sold and then had houses built on them by individual contractors

how much of the united states is desert and arid plains, i got the feeling the majority of the country is going for the movies, but theres also the appalaches and the north states

You are comparing this to urban living, as if those are the only two options, when you should be comparing it to European villages

China hardly has any single family homes in urban areas though.

Why not?

A lot of it. There's no lack in space by any means. 0 (zero) people live in the green areas

Can you re-iterate more clearly.

Europeans see this shit and are completely horrified

No pub, no market, no graveyard, no community square....etc.
It's like a soulless wasteland

Instead of having little shops in every town, you have a bunch of different suburbs all funneled into one mega-mart shopping center. Combined with the sprawled-out town, it means you can't get anywhere without a car.

So in Europe, people are biking and walking around and brushing shoulders with other people, in America everyone is in the car in a little soundproof bubble. Growing fat from lack of activity

Attached: 1500216259096.jpg (1200x800, 473K)

I stand corrected then.

well a lot of those suburbs are in areas that really wouldn't be sustainable if they were localized

I wish they were awake right now to tell you

Don't, it's just some retard trying to pass his arbitrary definition as fact.

Europeans biking to work, bike paths everywhere over there

American city planning means you can't get anywhere without a car.
And everything looks the same, because all the houses are copy-pasted in rows

Attached: 1499966158430.jpg (736x521, 105K)

I like european towns and all but that looks terrible. It's all modern and nothing but appartments.

here is an older style village. It was probably founded in the stone age
Everyone knows their neighbors, and likely has ancestors living in the town stretching back generations

In America people are moving around so much, most people don't even know their neighbors. So everyone is lonely, there is no community. Instead people pour themselves into entertainment media

Attached: rundflug Ortsker.jpg (1080x455, 153K)

That's not urban living though. Unless i'm misunderstanding you and you aren't saying your two pictures are urban?

Going off what he said tho, neighborhoods and the suburbs aren't all soulless cookie cutter wastelands. I grew up in the neighborhoods and we all had plots of lands 3-5 times bigger than the suburb pictures posted with significantly different housing architecture per house, with more privacy due to bigger lots putting more space between the houses, etc. They weren't built on grid layouts, had more flora, etc.

Much comfier

Since the europeans are not awake I felt the need to say what they would have said

They do have a lot of legitimate criticisms of the American lifestyle. Just for aesthetic reasons I would like it if the town was distinctive and had personality, instead of being a grid pattern

This looks awful.

thats why you live in a good neighborhood and be reasonable with your peers. you develop more personal relationships, which actually makes people happier.

and people are instinctually happier in the walkable cities. getting in cars and driving in traffic, or walking around large, monolithic buildings with nothing to look at has a negative psychological effect on people

>in Europe
>brushing shoulders
you're right about Americans driving too much and getting fat. But Americans are way more gregarious to people they encounter in public. Except for a few Mediterranean countries, Europeans consider a stranger saying, "hello" on the street as a personal attack. If the stranger makes eye-contact and smiles, that is an unspeakable affront to their personal dignity.

Many American cities and suburbs are planned. Suburbs such as the one pictured are pretty much continuations of the ones built in the 50's.

>there is no community
This, this right here.

I hate driving, I wish I lived in a nice European city with well designed public transportation/bike infrastructure or a small town where you can just fucking walk everywhere. Suburban existence makes me want to sudoku

meanwhile in my suburb, houses aren't clones of one another, to the back of my house there's bush as far as the eye can see, and the street ends about 50 or so metres further down. the only downside is having neighbours, other than that, it's the perks of rural life but without any of the burdens. won't last for long though because ling lee and all his kind doesn't see beauty in untouched land, they see opportunity in the form of apartment blocks

Because we don't have souls

Who else /suburb/ here

Europe is not Finland

Boy I sure would love to spend 4 hours a day in a steel and glass clad cage in traffic only to get to work so I can pay for said steel and glass clad cage.

Dog bless merican way of life.

Because this is awesome. I wish I could live like this.

This is a northen euro thing.
