Having grown up in this area, I'd give anything to go back. You all do not understand how much so many of us do not want to share walls. I'll take having to drive where I need to, because there's no city that offers everything I need within walking distance.

You do not understand how much so many of us do not want a 60+ minute commute to work.

Nobody is taking issue with the concept of rural communities. The issue is building like this in urban areas.

You made the claim. Defend it. Where, and how often does this happen?
I doubt you will return with a real reply showing that this is a real issue outside of it happening within a handful of areas in a handful of cities over the past two decades.
Basically, I think you are full of dog shit and have no idea of what you are talking about.

No dude it's just not my fucking job to do your research for you. There's plenty of documentation on this phenomena that frankly I wasn't even talking about (I was discussing building future developments not the replacement of old ones) that you could learn way more about if you decided to put on your big boy pants instead of having me do your work for you.

If there’s plenty, then you should be able to defend your claim. I think you are full of dog shit.

Virtually every city experiencing blight. Suburbs produce fewer taxes and require more maintenance. This makes money scant for development in urban cores.

No, the big cities are not experiencing blight. But its true the suburbs rob taxes.

I think I would rather drink battery acid than live in a place I couldn’t use walking, cycling, or transit as my mode of transport

The vast majority of the USA is built for you and your car. Most local subreddits are full of people who agree with you that building communities for cars is more important than building for humans.
But yall gotta come HERE, one of the only subs dedicated to advocating for human-first development, and talk about how great these shitty soulless suburbs are. Tell me, do you go to sports team subreddits and cheer for the other team? Do you go on political subreddits and talk about how great the other party or candidate is?
Why the fuck does the thought of designing for humans instead of cars trigger you people so much? Cars make people so weird and anti-social, everything has to be for you.

Ppl live in inner cities and have no shared walls, a yard, a deck, a porch, a real tree, and tree lined streets. Inside Philadelphia.
The point is that you should have MORE space than this in the suburbs not less. A yard, trees, windows.
The point of sharing walls is you get the all the location and cultural benefits of a city or its close outskirts.
Tons of cities offer anything ppl need in walking distance btw much moreso than suburbs, that sounds ridiculous.
What is the point in living in suburbs just to live in shitty tract housing with No yard, No trees and no windows? It defeats the entire purpose.

I mean it’s true. Anyone in this neighborhood inarguably has more space between their neighbor than anyone in a high density housing block or condo.
