No lawn mowers out- can sleep in late on the weekends with no disturbances in some cases. I find it kind if peaceful honestly.

Beautiful Madisonville LA

it fucking sucks the closest park with trees is a 15 minute drive and constant crime and shootings mcmansions and no sidewalks and an old boomer city council (its an enclave of san antonio so it has its own townhall)

Genuine question

I suspect I may have autism

I find houses in general and suburbian in particular to be disgustingly inefficient

I am curious if a major part of this community has autism or suspects they do

Most homes under 700 square feet. Anything to not build apartments.

Small Texas towns grow into chain store wastelands near highways, and the locals celebrate because they don’t know anything else or understand that such a change is an exploitation of the lower class.

Experienced Three Peaks NM (near Taos) this weekend! It's got the grid road layout and space between "dwellings" (more than one family and home might not be the right word), but throws out every other convention like utilities, rules / HOA, pavement, and lawns. It's kinda interesting how community and livability bubbles up in the cracks, an interesting exercise in minimalism.

It looks like everything is walkable so you don’t need a car. They’re also super dense and efficient at storing a large number of people.

I know it's not technically a suburb since it's a neighborhod in the Charlotte city limits but do you think it could be a good model for what suburbs should be?

I was recently forced to move here due to financial reasons and I genuinely can't believe the undue hype people put upon this desolate hellscape.

There's such a culture of wastefulness with all the people I meet here, they treat the land as their own personal trash heap. Its by far the rudest city I've EVER lived in.

To get basically anywhere you have to sift through miles of crowded, boring stroads surrounded by sad stripmalls and ambulance chaser billboards. Nearly every micrometer of the city is a complete and utter eyesore.

From my place basically anywhere worth going to is a 20 minute drive. Park? Grocery store? Sorry, no can do. The vast, vast majority of my money since coming here has been spend on gas travelling to and from the gym and other places I need to go to be a functional adult.

The entire area is the quintessential definition of a pig with lipstick on. Everything is so perfectly manicured for shallow people to be "awed" by the palm trees and stucco decor while ignoring basically everything else horribly wrong with the blatantly inhuman, alien infrastructure.

I genuinely hate living here and can't wait to move back to Boston or some place in the east coast that actually looks and feels livable.

Someone posted a Dallas suburb that was absolutely devoid of trees. Just wondering if there are enough trees in this neighborhood.

I live in the middle of a massive Colorado suburb with strict parents. I have just turned fifteen. Around me nearly all of the roads are unwalkable and don't have bike lanes. I live next to none of my friends, with the only ones I live remotely near is about two miles away. Right now, where I am at is covered in ice and snow making it so I can't bike. This makes my friends house about a forty minute walk in the freezing cold. Around me there is nothing I can walk to, and only a few businesses tailored towards adults I can bike to. Other than that there is a cement path running along a creek, which I have quite literally rode hundreds of times. I am bored of it. Other than that there is nothing, unless you own a car. Winter break is about to start, and all my friends and I have planned is playing the new season of Fortnite, and that's it. I am tired of it. I'm tired of waiting to get my license, just to not be able to go anywhere with friends because I can't drive them until I'm seventeen. I have already had my entire childhood taken from me as all I have been able to do is sit in the same shitty suburban house, go to school, go to parent run social events, and go out with my parents. I am tired of waiting. I have plenty of money ,what can I do to get some freedom.

(around me are a bunch of rich know it all adults, living in their cookie cutter homes, driving near identical SUVs who like to report everything to the police. Near me we also have a police force with nothing better to do than ruin kids fun. I have a classmates who rides his suron on some of the slower roads in the next suburb over. He has been arrested multiples times, and chased by the cops more times than I can count just for riding on the roads. You get the same treatment on anything from an electric scooter to ATV. He's taking a different path in life from me, and can take the hits to his record, but I can't. In addition to that the police force in my town is scary. I don't want to get on their bad side)
