we have 300 million+ people. I would rather live in a suburban home with my own space and a yard than in a european commieblock apartment with no land.
How do you expect us to order 300 million people into homes without using neat, tidy grids?
better than commie blocks, I don't see another alternative in the case of america
>>57638909
i prefer having all the stores and so on by walking distance
Except commie blocks are confined to Eastern Europe, not the West.
That said, American burbs look comfy
>>57638909
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
>>57638980
I could have that too, if I moved into a denser, more urban part of the city. But I don't want to, because I like having a home.

Why are Europeans so triggered by this? Even in real life I remember some of my European friends ranting on and on about this shit all the time. What's so bad about it?

You can really see the "Ordnung muss sein" heritage of America in these grid suburban neighborhoods.

and the grid system is an effective way of providing single family housing for a large amount of people. the market demands it.
there is a large variety of housing options throughout the country
>>57638980
>i can walk meme
or you could just get your car out of your own driveway and then go to stores with their own yuuuge parks, buy a bunch of shit and then come back home comfy...
or go to backdoor nature which is literally walking distance away instead of being in shitty urban commieblocks
>europlebs can't handle some suburbia
>>57639265
They have an inferiority complex. In Europe you have to be a really fucking rich to even afford to live in a typical suburban American house.
They also get mad about our wooden houses even though most of our houses are built with bricks and mortar.
>>57639305
how can you even live like that
>>57639265
because we don't generally like that American lifestyle where you drive everywhere, shop at wallmart etc. we prefer more vivid environment. And actually a pretty large chunk of Nordic people live in family house suburbias similar to American ones.
>>57639583
I ask the same thing when I see your commie blocks. How do you move furniture into your house if the only way to enter it is through an elevator?
>>57639583
it's really not 'terrible' by any stretch of the imagination, just car dominated
>>57639532
>or you could just get your car out of your own driveway and then go to stores with their own yuuuge parks, buy a bunch of shit and then come back home comfy...
I don't want to, I have a store at my neighbour building so it takes me like 5min to go there and back home. Also, nature is like 100m away from here, a shopping center 200m and my school 300m so I don't even need to use a bike.
>>57639660
the people who live in those houses dont generally own much furniture, the vast majority of the population in the nordic coutnries lives like this where everything is withing a walking distance yet the nature is really close
>>57639585
Speak for yourself, faggot. I do like the car society, existing European urban layouts however simply don't allow it.
>>57639265
The lot size is so regular, and none among
a thousand people were allowed to have a 1.5 sized territory because why not? All such people living under control and assigned to a given place in a social order which is uniform.
Meanwhile isn't there someone else who is over all the sweep of those people, like a dictator somewhere?
>>57639660
>How do you move furniture into your house if the only way to enter it is through an elevator?
Elevators are usually pretty spacious and of course our buildings have stairways as well
>>57639752
>>57639752
That looks really trashy and disorganized to be honest. If that were in America I would fully expect a redneck hick with 6 children and a battered wife to be residing in each house.
>>57639752
desu there are tons of places like this throughout America. the suburbs and inner city are just a different story and obviously cater to a huge amount of people
>>57639805
apartments in central areas are more expensive in Europe because people want to live there, not in car based suburbs, every country here has them as well of course. Finland is pretty much designed for private cars but still people want to live in city centers.
>>57639974
>people want to live in city centers
American attitudes have changed in the last 15ish or so years and urban living has become more desirable. This is why many large cities have gentrifying areas and suburban areas are seeing influxes of minorities
>>57639974
People are fucking morons.
>>57639910
we don't really care that much about how our houses or gardens look for other people, we aren't that shallow as Americans, we just want that our environment looks comfy for ourselves and Finns pretty much prefer more natural gardens and such
>>57640032
yeah, we also had a phase in the 60-70s when people wanted rather live in suburbs but now its pretty much that, the more central location, the richer people live there.
Suburbs here are spread out on little bumps on hills so there's no retarded huge sprawl occupying where the trees should be. Since it's so windy at parts and divided by hill it doesn't really feel like a suburb, it's like little chunks of house clusters or rows tossed around. Feels almost like a town.
>arse is falling out of the Meme City high density housing market
>nearly paid off the mortgage on my 40 sqm apartment
Feels complex lads
>>57640295
>40 sqm
is that small? how much is the whole apartment?
>tfw you live in a townhouse in the suburbs
at least it's not copy paste. The older suburbs have some flavor and their own unique charm, none of them are the same...but that's changing, as they demolish shit and build new homes they build EVERYTHING identically.
>>57639752
That looks so trashy, like trailer park trashy
masterrace: older suburbs with different two storey houses, tree lined roads and a main street with some stores.
pleb tier: shitty new copy paste mcmansions with artificial lakes and such suburbs.
absolutely horrifying: one storey cardboard houses suburbs.
>>57640397
430 square feet
Over USD170000 but it's 4 km from city centre, it's actually a basement to a house and also for other reasons it's not representative.
Doesn't mean that anyone trying to get a mortgage to buy it wouldn't throw up red flags for a bank.
40 sqm is about the lower limit for being able to get comfortable owner-occupier mortgages in Australia. Meanwhile people keep getting free money from the city council to build slums for foreign students.
how expensive are apartments in your cunt?

Sure doesn't look like it. Doesn't even have sidewalks, also that one place across the road looks like they simply paved in a mobile home with bricks (or whatever Americans use to imitate bricks nowadays).
>>57641854
It is a Southern thing. Suburbs look different according to age and region. Southern suburbs typically have a Greek/Roman facade with columns and Yankee suburbs have a colonial feel.

Doesn't change the fact that it's an arsehole though, shops and offices don't make it a nicer place.

Most Danish suburbs consist of old, small towns grown part of a larger city area desu. So most Danish suburbs have their own historical city centers. Isn't it the same in Germany?

>>57642113
Why do they paint all the buildings like they are favelas in south america though

Yes, but I'm not going to call it a suburb if it has historically independently grown. In that case it's simply a town near a city. Suburbs are specifically laid out as expansions.
>>57642215
I don't know why people give such a giant fucking shit about how their town center looks like. They spend most of their time elsewhere anyway, and I'd rather have a nice house and backyard I can enjoy every day than a nice main street I visit maybe once a month.

The Kraut is right, though. Brittish arcitecture is fucking shit.
Apparently Americans took that and your horrible food culture and turned into something even worse.

They're were poor people like me live, most people live in semi-detached houses like link related

Yeah, you've got nice houses. I think we are all jealous of that fact.
What I personally don't like is that you *have* to use cars: The supermarket is walking distance from my house. In the US, it's basically a 15min drive. I'm Dutch, we like using our bikes.
Furthermore, the depressing "everything is the same"-feeling. Although not all suburbs have this (I guess the more wealthy suburbs are more unique). I like in a studio apartment and sure, all my neighbors have the same room. The difference is that the building is still unique.

why do brittish towns and cities look so fucking sad? it really wouldn't hurt putting some collor and/or grass in there somewhere
>>57643812
>post a few pictures of poor people's houses and say British architecture is fucking shit
Why is it shit? Are you going by cities because our cities are shit. There are nice houses but as Brits say again and again yet foreigners never understand cities are for poor people.
Middle class and wealthy live in villages like pic related.

Or maybe you've just been brainwashed into liking your bikes because of high car taxes. I'm going to risk saying that Dutch brains and German brains are reasonably similar, and we Germans fucking love our cars.

Because post war we were socialist and built massive grey suburbs of government owned homes.

Isn't that whole red brick thing a shared feature between Brits, Dutch and our Northerners?
>>57643957
Looks solid though. Winter makes any place look far worse than it really is. I'd rather live in Springs however, Spanish town names in the US make me uneasy, as if they were an invitation for Mexicans to move to.
>>57644016
not really brainwashed but heavily disencouraged, parking your car = €€€
and since almost everyone lives within 20minutes by bike from work, stores, friends and school there is really no need to use your car everyday
>>57643957
i stayed in pueblo for a day. it didn't seem too bad at all. there was this pizza place by the river and it was really good.
>>57643900
>(I guess the more wealthy suburbs are more unique)
it's more like housing is expensive as fuck in the inner city because they're "historic neighborhoods" so they're usually inhabited by the very affluent or poor people living in apartments.
the middle class usually lives in the suburban donut of the city on cheap land in large houses and have to drive to get anywhere.
>>57644016
You might call it "brainwashed", but I loved the fact that the bike gave me so much mobility when I didn't have a drivers' license yet. When I was 16, I was allowed to go to my friends' parties on my own, my parents didn't have to bring me/pick me up.

*muffled tim horton's in the distance*
>>57644071
well yes, but here it's much much greener, lots of trees, grass, bushes and parks, and almost every street has different house styles, so there's more diversity between streets, eventhough they all use red bricks
>>57644191
So did I, but it's still better to have a car as an adult because I can also look for work in the next town and aren't limited to my town only, also it makes travelling and transport more convenient.
>>57644212
At least you have le weed man
>>57644191
And it's healthy for you. Going on bike is preferable in almost any way. But of course it means that you have to live quite close to work, entertainment etc.
>>57644264
What does a Tim Horton's sound like?
They don't even have a distinct smell like McDonalds.
>>57644264
[muffled sound of old people crashing their Buicks into Tim Hortons because they confused the brake and gas pedals again and hit an ice patch in the parking lot in the distance]
>>57644016
You underestimate how much time you waste sitting in traffic in those american car cities.
>>57644288
Of course it's nice to own a car. That doesn't detract from the usefulness of a bike.
I think Germany has some nice infrastructure for bikes, too. Except in Berlin...
>>57644311
it sounds like maple and shit coffee :^)
>europeans believe that any American who isn't absolutely pleb-tier ives anywhere near one of these areas
>europeans believe that their tiny nation of 5 million people is in any way comparable to that of one with 300 million
Of course we are going to have our houses spread out and not cozy we don't have to cram shit in like you do in the Netherlands or Denmark. And cherrypicking images from suburbs in like Ohio means nothing to us all you're proving is some town in some shit state that is the suburb of like the 20th most relevant US city looks shitty
>>57644365
Except that our commutes take much longer.

Same time. Made for poor working class plebs.
Not looking as depressive. The back site most times has a square with greenery. All sites are closed of from the streets
>>57644146
I'm surprised anywhere here has even been to Pueblo. That's Angelo's pizza, it's alright but if you go to somewhere like Denver you can probably find tons of places that are just as good.
It's not terrible here in the sense that like you're not going to be robbed while taking a walk or anything, but the town feels (and for all purposes is) dead. It's one of those smallish cities where if you walk into a bar you'll see all kinds of 40 year olds reminiscing about how hot shit they were in high school.
>>57644483
>>57644578
I wasn't talking about that. Every pic you posted that was "cozy" was due to the buildings being all squashed together along a canal which was done out of necessity in the olden days to fit everyone into your cities.
>>57644530
I'd rather trust this

45 minutes sound like some super-bullshit
>>57644191
Not him but kek, I could to that when I was 8 or so (sleepovers at friends, going around unattended on our village fests until 4am...) and a few years later going tent camping with friends in the fields/groves near the village, fun times indeed. Also walked "unattended" (with same aged children from my street) to the kindergarten about 1km away when I was 4
I guess that early exposure really made me feel for my local area and gave me a sense of navigation, I can always find my way home even through the dark fields no matter how wasted I am
But then again we were extremely "unenriched" back then with pretty much nonexistant crime, of course times are changing now, if I ever have children I probably won't be able to be so liberal ;_;
>>57644448
I don't think their shitty coffee has a distinct sound either desu
And everywhere in Canada sounds like maple. The streets are literally paved in maple leaves.

Well you've got better housing for poor people than us. Honestly I hate all the ugly soical housing in this country and all the brutalist shit we built in the 50s/60s if I had it my way it would all be torn down.
>>57644633
my family was talking a road trip across the country and peublo was one of the places we stopped cuz we didn't want to drive during the night. i remember the little river walk thing, the pizza place, and i remember looking out my hotel window and seeing people driving ATVs off of ramps
>>57644691
Afternoon coffee of course. Donuts are more similar to cakes than to baked breakfast goods.
>>57644741
Exactly, I'd rather trust a graph on the official website instead of some 5 minute website done by a 3rd grade kid
>>57644691
donuts are only acceptable with your 10:30 coffee or your 16:00 tea
are europeans even trying?
