Is it weird that I love American suburbs? Everybody seems to hate them but I think they are cozy as fuck.
My cousin lives in a similar neighborhood where every house is just red bricks and I like it way more than some boring mixed neighborhood.
>middle class housing
Absolutely disgusting.
If you say so
who gives a shit either way
how meaningless does your life have to be that you put effort into hating or loving something people are doing thousands of miles away
Of course, with all those refugees, comfy white suburbs will become a lot more popular.
Why would there be anything weird about it? Suburban living is what people strive for their whole lives here.
>>59821051
very
>>59821065
but anon, colored folk can't afford to live around those neighborhoods. How in the world will you be culturally enriched?
I find them kinda boring and untiristing, also zoning laws take all the fun out of having so much fucking space.
If I were to buy a house in the suburbs I'd rather buy a 4 acre terrain and make a huge fucking mansion over the course of my lifetime.
>>59820994
i don't even know where you find suburbs that loook like these
I mean don't get me wrong, suburbs still have horrible ergonomic planning, but I don't and have never seen one that looks as bad as the memes posted on /int/
They look very comfy, but I heard people kill themselves often.
>>59821164
Seriously. The one I live in looks a lot closer to this than that pattern arr rook same shit that I always see posted on /int/. Even this is a bit dense though.
i prefer this
>>59821224
There's definitely far more trees in my suburbs than the ones on /int/
Some really good ones are completely forested. Those are nice.
>>59821224
>The one I live in
are you rich?
>>59821261
kek no. Mortgages can be easily handled by 2 people who make 45k per year, which is really shitty pay. If you both make at least 60k, you can easily live in an upper middle class neighborhood where you'd have houses that look like this.
>>59820994
Those back yards looks kind of... public, why would you do that?
>>59821385
oh! wow. that's great! i wish I was american
>>59821431
because they can.
we down here on the south need to worry about criminals.
>>59820994
>"""""""homes""""" in the southwest
southwest has the worst urban planning, no doubt about it
>>59821258
Fug that is beautiful. Ugly baseball diamonds kind of ruin it though
>>59821261
Suburban housing isn't that expensive
this is my s'burb
4/10 it's in florida wouldn't recommend
>>59821477
>baseball
>ugly
stay away
>>59821483
I always thought it was, because it looks so nice, and the houses are so big!
>>59821485
>Swimming For Adults Afraid
wow ur livin on the edge man chill buddy
>>59821451
It's not about crime, it's about privacy m8... and no, you don't have to worry about criminals in closed comunities here, that's why people lives in closed comunities.
>>59821512
Well, you'll be making mortgage payments until you're in your 50's or so, but it's manageable
>The houses are so big!
I always forget that people who don't live in the US, Australia, and Canada live like sardines
>>59821558
>closed communities.
Sounds like a scam to raise housing prices
>>59821609
I'm sorry I'm poor and brazillian.
I should've worked harder so I could be an american
I live on this golf course, pretty cozy, if you turned this pic around you'd see the ocean
>>59821669
>I should've worked harder so I could be an american
You still can be

>>59821677
I used to do valet parking there. Lel
living in suburbs in the US is so shit
you literally need a car to do anything, my local bus transit takes 1 hour 25 minutes to get to a grocery store 15 minutes away by car
if you want cozy suburb living, go to Norway
they have some rule where they need a shopping center in the middle of every suburb so people are able to walk to get food.
They also have housing communities strictly for kids so every home is a 25-30yr old family with a few kids running around, and a giant play area between the homes that all kids can use.
You won't find any of this shit here, everything is just for yourself, you're supposed to make shit work on your own.
>>59821714
How?

Hello millionaire
>>59821739
it's my dad's money though, as an individual i'm poor
>>59821751
Huntington Beach is not expensive, neither is Long Beach really
>>59821760
>it's my dad's money though, as an individual i'm poor
I fucking hate when people do this.
Yeah, the money isn't yours, but you get to use it.
You get to live like a fucking king!
Stop pretending that you're fucking poor.
>American suburbs
>>59821609
Yeah I toured a lot of Europe last year and their hotels and living accommodations are a fucking joke by comparison.
They are rooms for ants.
>>59820994
Fuck suburbs
Hate's just a grass is green mentality, OP
people complain that your average joe in the States gets a nice large house, land, and a comfortable neighborhood, without realizing that your average European is doing the same thing but in a cramped row house or apartment
I grew up in the city and was always really jealous of my suburb friends
>>59821799
>Nazca lines looking bullshit
>>59821738
I'm not sure how American immigration works, I just know that other people consider it to be difficult
>>59821385
>kek no. Mortgages can be easily handled by 2 people who make 45k per year, which is really shitty pay. If you both make at least 60k, you can easily live in an upper middle class neighborhood where you'd have houses that look like this.
Maybe in Kansas
>>59821855
I thought most people here disaproved of immigration.
>>59820994
This is disgusting. The average east coast suburb has trees and varried houses.
>>59821669
Cuck mentality
We don't need you scum. You bail ship when the going gets tough.
>>59820994
Grew up in a suburb and I hated it. No culture, nothing to do, you have to drive your car even if you just want to get a bottle of soda at a convenience store, etc. I live in NYC now and it's infinitely better.
>>59821878
OP's pic looks like Midwest
>>59821799
argie ones are a little less autistic and for some reason they always have artificial lakes
>>59821828
Happiness surveys show that Western Europe consistently is happier than America. Since the 1970's.
But I think it went to hell after 2011-2012 when they had the Eurozone crisis.
>>59821874
In America? Some people hate Mexicans outright, most just hate illegal immigrants.
So long as you don't look like some seedy motherfucker, you'll be fine
>>59821878
>average
Nice bait
>>59821891
This but DC. (Specifically Northwest DC where I won't get shot, yet).
>>59821910

Thanks, man! You fill me with hope!
I'll get my degree and then try to get a green card.

>Publix
>>59822007
publix is great though
I hate when people meme about the size of our accomodations
If you live in the city , no shit you'll live in a smaller flat
But on the outskirts I'd be very surprised to find significantly less spacious houses than in the US
>>59822073
It's statistically shown that European houses are smaller.
But that's because of higher urbanizarion in Europe. It's also cultural. American bodies need more space and wider doors you see. We are built up.
>>59822144
US has 81% urbanization rate vs 75% in Germany you fucking retarded faggot idiot

>>59822001
Sorry for the shitty quality, that's the first thing I found on Panoramio, sadly as they're gated comunities there's no GSV available
>>59822166
shit these are nicer than our gated communities
>>59821751
>>59821751
My grandmother use to live in Newport Beach....about 12 blocks from the Newport Beach Pier over looking Balboa Island....It was a alright location but no fucking sidewalks anywhere and the urban sprawl was hard to navigate.
>>59822189
no it's not, you've just gone to poverty tier gated neighborhoods
that isn't nicer than my non-gated neighborhood you pathetic poorfag
>>59822144
Huh well I never noticed that. It's cultural for sure, not to do with Urbanization. You have a vastly higher surface area to live on than any European cunt so naturally you'll have larger houses.
>>59821981
Yeah, this is why I couldn't stand the suburbs.
Meanwhile in NY
>walk outside of apartment
>go to bodega a block away
>buy some food
>go back home
Walk takes maybe 4 minutes in one direction. Faster than a car in the suburbs and I get some exercise.
>>59822163
That's because people like >>59821677 are considered urban you nigger faggot retarded idiot
>>59822144
Its also because you need more energy to heat up a big house during winters. Literally no reason whatsoever to own a big house with unused space and extra costs other than social status that only neurotypicals care about.
>>59822189
well, gated communities here are for rich fags, it's not like middle class murican suburbs... they have some similarities though.
>>59822163
US statistics tend to consider suburbs as "urban" even though they're """"""urban""""" in an extremely extended sense
Suburbs are dull, I like my urban residential neighborhoods
-Less property to take care of
-Get to know more people than just your immediate neighbo
-Every block is architecturally differentr
-Always has new people coming and going
-More shit is within walking distance so you don't need to drive to buy a carton of milk or a pack of smokes
-Has an actual nightlife
-Has actual shit to do than just hang around the house
>>59821799
a lot of that is in the city of pittsburgh
>>59822392
>Get to know more people than just your immediate neighbo
If you even recognize your neighbors you're doing it wrong
>I don't live in a comfy urban area
I want to move to the city but literally everywhere is shooting up in prices
I was looking to move to seattle when I was in highschool a few years ago.
All over the city there were places for like $700-900 a month, doable with a roommate
now I literally can't find anything for less than $1000
will I be stuck in the burbs with my mom forever
>>59822527
You lucky cunt. If I won the lottery first thing I would do is buy a wooded lakefront property like that. Spend the rest of my life fishing and reading
>>59822592
i'm right next to Seattle
>>59822527
>I will never live next to a lake
>>59822553
Move to an "ethnically diverse" neighborhood. Property values are lower and racist landlords will be more willing to work with you. Been doing it for 3 years and apart from that one time I almost got shot it's been okay.
>>59822603
can I move in with you
>>59822592
>>59822609
it's actually not a lake, here's another shot from the front
I want cozy narrow streets for everyone.
I get the appeal of suburbs though
>big property
>you can't build in it
If zoning laws were more laxed, those suburbs would go urban cery easily
>>59822636
Lucky bastard I'd kill to live somewhere like that. How expensive are houses there?
>>59822627
what parts of seattle are ethnically diverse
will they be gentrified by the time I get out of college in two years
>>59821051
All life is meaningless
>>59822702
>>59822636
That looks great

Is that Bainbridge?
what did I do to grow up in the polar opposite of Seattle

well actally I'll be getting a spanish passport soon, but it's still a bad feel
>>59823240
i don't get why people don't do euro blocks anymore
>>59823301
19th century europe was the height of urban planning. look at those sexy steep roofs
I don't know why people hate them. I wish I grew up in one of those American suburbs where you have a pool in your garden and everything.
>>59821857
Apartment rent is so ridiculous right now many of my friends are looking into buy a home. All you need to do is put 20% down and you can get like 30 year mortgage which with taxes and insurance still comes in cheaper per month than renting a smaller apartment. It's a hell of a lot easier than you might think. At least in my state.
>>59823353
the statues are ok too
>>59823301

no thanks
Homogenized houses in suburbs are cancer but when you have good variety of houses and ample yard room its top tier. I fucking love my suburb though it seems I'm in the minority. Everyone I ever went to high school or college with called our city boring and wanted to move elsewhere as soon as they could.
Perfect planning quarters resembles a German pedantry. Navernole built their descendants who had fled Nazis.
>>59821477
Fuck off cuckegg fan.
Bucnh of coddled cringelords itt.
"waah, i don't like suburbs because they're boring! Ooh man, this sucks so bad having all this parking and space! Kill me!"
I grew up in the fucking ghetto in central LA and would love to live in a suburb.
Oh, what?
I'm "centrally located"?
Big god damn whoop!
So I can eat at 42 different subways within a 5 mile radius, that's totally worth all the gangsters and constant sirens and crippling poverty.
>>59824185
Yeah yeah, wuz kangs n shiet.
Brilliant.
>>59820994
looks like war base.
Probably damn expensive to build as many roads and communications. What % of price of the house up road and communication?
>>59824278
taxes pay for the roads and the phone/tv/internet bill for communication.
>>59824303
Is it true that authorities are fined if the lawn is not trimmed?
>>59820994
Yuck
>>59824342
Maybe in certain upscale gated communities.
They might have a "homeowners association" which ill fine you for a untrimmed lawn or loud dogs or litter.
The reason being that it makes it hard for other homeowners to sell their home if there is a shitty house next to it.
Everyone seems to hate LA for the urban sprawl. I like it though. Look how neat it is in google earth (pic related). I visited a few years ago, it's just like GTA5 (so cool!). I visited Moscow, and it was nothing like Metro 2033 #FALSEADVERTISING.
>>59823240
I lived there for 3 months for work.
The City is called Karlsruhe.
Very cozy. I can actually trace the route I would take to get to work by bike. Coole Luftaufnahme.
>>59824427
I take the 10 and the 405 every day to work.
The traffic makes you hate people.
It once took me 4 hours to drive 30+ miles.

That is the best
Close enough to a big city that you have jobs and entertainment, and not so remote that you have to care about your neighbours
Disgusting. A village is the only place to live.
>>59822830
oh look its the last remaining wooden house in istanbul, because turks tore all the others down and replaced them with ugly apartment blocks
>>59830437
villages don't really exist in the US in general besides a few exceptions here and there, and usually nothing that looks very nice like that pic
>>59830581
I feel sorry for you tbqh.
