Reply #151: Please understand, I *AM NOT* blanket anti-suburb.

[UdoKier]

I despise suburbs that are built in the way I've described, anchored around hideous stucco malls full of corporate shops and big-box stores, a dearth of parks and green space, too low density and poorly planned with nothing in walking distance. I'm aware that there are some suburbs that have bucked that trend and tried building in a more sensible way, with back alleys for cars, shopping within walking distance, and they deserve to be saluted.

I think there is a place for the suburb, the city is not for everybody, but they need to be more ecologically sustainable, and offer more diversity of activity and built on a more human scale that lets people get the hell out of their cars.
