How many of you here live/grew up in a suburban neighborhood?
From what I can tell by fucking around on google maps only the Americans, Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders have developed this sort of lifestyle.
Do you enjoy the level of density and general feel of the community? Do you plan on staying there the rest of your life?
I used to dream about moving into a city where I thought I'd be able to meet more people (I'm pretty lonely atm) and have more to do around me. But for a while now I've been thinking about moving out into the countryside where I'd be surrounded by beautiful nature and have enough land to actually work it a little bit and enough room to raise a large family.
In Norway everything is sort of like "suburban", because our cities are so small that the city centre is tiny and then there is sprawl of houses surrounding it. Not sure if you would deem it the same.
It’s so fucking boring but I’m glad I don’t live in the inner city

I haven't grown in one of these ''every house is the same'' neighborhood. I kinda find them comfy, this picture is close to my cousin's house, close to Ottawa, Canada's capital. It's quite weird how they look American, given that we find ourselves so much different from Americans, when we are in fact just French speaking burgers.
unironically looks comfy, it's one of those places that is great to raise kids in
LMAO, not suburban at all my Norwegian bro, still extremely comfy though. One thing in Québec that makes us close to Scandinavians is our lakes. I know places that look like these. Very very comfy. where was that pic taken?
Sort of. Dad and mom split and mom lived in the inner ring of the city most of the time but dad lived in the new and upper middle class suburbia. All in all I like the older suburbs pre 90s because they are not in the middle of nowhere and you can walk to things and they have more soul. New suburbs look like they are built off and assembly line. When I get a home I'll live in an older suburb in a small town in all likelihood.

What differs it from your suburbs tho?
Noah Gray
Suburbs are expensive af here. Everything's so cramped.
Ayden Jones
Our suburbs are much more compact and full of weird structures but most white kids these days grow up in them.
apparently these are the equivalent to castles for yuropoors
Owen James
They are though obviously the building materials are a bit off and in general the trend here is to build higher. Americans homes that are ultra wide yet quite low are weird to us
David Richardson
I would honestly hate to live in a city, suburbs are better in every way
Kevin James
Rural > small town > suburbia > urban
Eli Ramirez
Nope, I grew up in a ghetto (by first world standards).
Yeah, about as suburban as you can get in England. As a kid not being able to drive it was really boring. I had a couple of friends living close to me but my best friends were all 20-40 minutes walk away or whatever that was on a bike.
There was a token black family and a couple of Asian families but it was 99% white. I hear some school kids got done for drug dealing in school recently though, which was never a thing before. They'll just be bored. Suburban kids are a bit soft desu.
Getting older was a bit better because there were about 15 pubs in our town but apart from that literally just houses.
Everyone moved to the city by 18 or 20 although one guy has moved back to start a family. It's easy with a car but I'd consider moving to a more attractive village over new build suburbia just on aesthetic grounds.

Suburbs are the best place to live. Only downside is our shitty transportation system but I got a car anyway
Asher Harris
I grew up in a village but then again seeing how compact this country is it was probably as far away from civilization as your average suburb but it had a stronger sense of community

It's easy with a car but I'd consider moving to a more attractive village over new build suburbia just on aesthetic grounds. My complete group of friends from back home minus 1 maybe lives in the same city as me. Very recognizable. And yeah the older generation who moved away too is slowly returning and having children and wives etc.
Gavin Mitchell
I grew up in the city, not in the suburbs. Living in residential suburbs is pretty dreadful if you are young honestly.
Nope, those would be kinda low-quality here. Residential suburbs over here look like this
I cant really imagine not living in a comfy house. No drawbacks here in this country at least, because the city centre is tiny and within the sprawl of houses you have anything nearby anyway.
I lived in a house for 6 months for a job and it was pretty meh.
Aiden Richardson
Looks comfy to me
Charles Price
Why? I grew up in a gigantic old house by Dutch standards and maintaining the thing took pretty much all my fathers free time. Then through family I ended up in a nice big apartment in an upscale part of the city and it was just great. Sadly it got sold and with current prices and my degree I can never buy anything like it, but I could easily see myself living there
Julian Martinez
Is the weather usually that sunny in Norway? I thought it'd be snowing or something.
Ethan Fisher
I used to live next door to Norway. It's beautifully sunny in summer and the days are long with only few hours of darkness. Winters suck though. To a lot of Australians, snow seems like a really cool thing, but after a few days it becomes a pain in the ass and in deep winter, you can't even go outside without dying unless you put on 20,000 layers of animal hides. There's a reason winter is the time in which the highest number of suicides occur in the north
Jace Jenkins
Yes. its usually sunny in east central Norway. It's the guys on the west coast who have that shitty atlantic rainy weather.
