My dislike for suburbs

[danwxman]

It's really the newer suburbs and exurbs that piss me off. They destroy beautiful farmland, cause environmental damage, and put a lot of stress on the local community while adding virtually nothing to the tax base. I love small towns and even older "inner" suburbs, which are in many cases urbanizing and becoming more pleasant places to live.

Suburban sprawl (this isn't even that bad, at least it has sidewalks and the houses are somewhat densely packed):


Exurban sprawl:

1 - too much driving

Depends on the suburb.  Where I live, everything is within walking distance.

Then you live in an urban suburb.
