That's not always the case from my experience. But it's the whole atmosphere that attracts me, it's like a little bubble isolated from all the problems of the world. Everyone is white, middle class or upper class and everything is nice.

Not really, I have comfy neighbourhoods where I live. That said, your pic related seems very nice, I would not mind living there. Ideally it should be a state up north instead of south, tho. I hate those yellow fields in the background. It should be green.

Not in the same way, atleast in Sweden. Here suburb is synonymous with immigrant ghetto. That said there are a few examples in the biggest cities but it's not as widespread as in America and they're not as isolated. Usually in Sweden, people live very connected and class differences aren't as noticeable. My high school had children from every class and walk of life.

It is "upper class", as much as upper class goes in a socialist cunt such as Norway and Sweden. Call it "upper academia class" if you will. But yeah, Norwegian cities are too small to have whole big areas/towns with exclusively upper class suburbs like they have in USA. It takes me like 5 minutes to drive to the city centre from my neighbourhood.

In Sweden people come to the high school from every part of the city and most people don't care for each other outside their group of friends. There are no activities or school spirit or anything and you go home right after classes.

>>69956023
Brick houses are more common than you'd think. We use smaller, typically bricks instead of cinder blocks, though.

Like a lot of things here, it also depends on the region.

>>69956347
Have you ever seen real brick houses? This is decorative one again.

>>69956499
I don't really care

>>69956436
Well you won't see it from above so it won't look as intimidating but I agree that every house being the same would be a little weird. Also there's a serious lack of trees and nature there but I guess it's somewhere in California or some other place where people really shouldn't be living.

This is much better >>69956170

>>69956474
It's sad to know that the ones with big trees aren't more common, because I've seen it once or twice before in a movie or something and from memory it was comfy as fuck

>>69956436
But if you look, there are noticeable differences between the houses, and these are more noticeable at ground level. And the mannequins with fake smiles thing is just silly. It's the kind of thing that promoted by young former suburbanites who use the media to show that they're more le deep than those chumps back in the suburbs.

Sometimes. Memes are memes, but sometimes they're true.

>>69957437
About 50/50 actually. I went to a school that was roughly 65% black though, so they were actually underrepresented on the team more than anything. And no, they weren't worshipped. Our star player was actually a ginger manlet who played kicker. He helped take us all the way to state.

The problem with suburbs is that you cannot go anywhere without a car. It feels sterile. Going to the nearest grocery store, fast food chain, and mall takes 40 min on foot or 15 on bike. Bus service is horrible here.

a German driver's license costs approx. 1.500€ and you have to do extra stuff like first aid courses, getting your eyes and mental health checked, mandatory theory and practice lessons (which may be more than average if you have a dick instructor who lets you fail at the slightest mistake) etc.

they're alright, but it depends on how close you are to a city. if you're too far away it's just soul-less and boring. I come from a neighborhood with houses like pic related.

Suburbs are great for raising kids. They are virtually crime-free (if you choose right), by great schools, and the parents commute to work. Ignore stuff like >>69955242, politics depends heavily upon location, and at most you'll have a 50/50 split between politics, the rest leaning more conservative.

No offense to the other parts of the country, but they also produce the smartest sect of American society. Very white collar.

That being said, I cannot wait to get done with school and move to a city.

Please no, american cities have the most unnatural city grids; you have to use a fucking car to navigate around.
American grids are also incredibly monotonous - everything looks the fucking same.

Home parties, homecoming dance, proper society ladies, husband mowing the lawn with a driveable lawn mower, ground sprinkler, the dog fetching the mail, little boys biking around in the back woods with aliens in baskets, aliens invading said small town, the military being useless, the big city with colored folks...

I just want to know what would happen if anyone would decide (for example) to paint the house bright orange or simply stopped mowing the lawn, you know, something that would make him different from the rest of the neighbors, what would happen to him?

is pic related a good idea of what would happen?

>>69960558
For me nothing, I'm rural
In average suburb they might have grass length rules, but your house can be any color
In HOA suburb, you must almost be uniform with other houses, so no.

>>69960558
>to paint the house bright orange
depends. At the very least he/she would become the most unpopular person in the neighborhood. If your development has codes governing home appearance, then you could be forced to repaint it and/or receive financial penalties and possibly legal ramifications.

>or simply stopped mowing the lawn
you'll get fined

>>69960034
Such as?

>>69960558
It depends on the particular HOA (homeowners association). In my rural "covenant community," none of that would matter, but I can't put a trailer home on my property or leave my trash cans in front of my house.

Where to start?
Might help if you pick a category or something.

They fail to do their original intended task of having the best of both worlds. As originally the rich wanted to have the best of rural and city life with none of the down sides. The monstrosity result was had the wost of both.

They fractured building resources which incentives poor construction techniques that are now codified as the norm.

They helped create a whole new scale of shopping which in trun led to new marketing styles that evolved into the invacive ads we have today.

Those are just some that I thought of, but given the size and complexity it is proply easier to start at the end and trace it back to the.

It is like asking how electricty change things, were do you start and how do you even put that much information into words.

It's weird, while suburbs like OP do exist I always think of the suburbs as something like this. This is like 40 minutes outside of Boston.

Generally older burbs have a lot more trees, space between houses, etc.

It was always my dream as a child. My parents weren't very normal (missionaries, I grew up overseas, came back at 7 years old then they moved into an urban, ghetto area to renovate a house so I ended up there).

A lot of my friends lived in suburban areas and didn't realize how good they had it. To have a close group of neighborhood friends to always play with, without any fear of the neighborhood, comfortable environment. It's ideal for a family.

The suburban model wasn't chosen arbitrarily. It's a lot of house, yard space, and enough neighbors to make life interesting, basically all that humans want.

They look like hell. Big ass houses on ridiculously small plots with no privacy.

People would laugh at you, that $200 of paint you just smothered your house with just decreased you're homes worth by $10,000-$20,000 dollars (at least)

Theyed laugh, avoid eye contact, and move on with their lives, relieved that no matter how bad their life is going at least they aren't a mentally ill person who hates money

Unless one of your next door neighbor's is trying to sell their house, because you just made their home lose 5 figures of value overnight too, they might break your legs or shoot your dog out of spite

During WWII the military wanted buildings that could be made fast and cheap, but would last a few years. So after some interesting R&D they developed a new wood frame building that was much cheaper and easier to build than most traditional wood frame designs, as it was only rated to last 3 years. Well Levitt & Sons modified the designs to look more upscale, and started selling them to returning GI under the pitch that the everyman could now own a nice suburb home like the super rich, as suburbs were still limited at the time despite have been around for awhile. They became rich and famous and their plans and techniques were then used as a foundation in nearly all new designs. Later house fires and other deadly accidents would prompt new safety rules, but rather then requiring people to just build safe houses (as we had that ability for a very long time) they required newer safety measures in houses, thus in effect codifying future designs continue to use that flawed core. Such new safety measure included covering everything with asbestos to reduce fire risks, later we would slowly learn such forced tech solutions often created even more issues.
Had new city apartments or older family farms been more popular those designs would not have had the penetration they did. Our love from cheap suburbs like the rich spawned a building plague we are still dealing with today.

Because of the layout of the suburbs shopping shifted to large malls along highway junctions. Given that larger and larger groups of potential customers were now in higher and higher concentrations. Marketers changed how they operated to get maximum impact. A new type of mass mainstream marketing was created which became more and more aggressive as it made sense to spend a lot more on high density wide advance ads. Later the same key fundamentals developed for these large shopping malls would create the mess we have now.

I can't see why this is a good thing. I like not being cramped up in public transport that isn't suitable for people taller than 6'0, I don't have to deal with people coughing everywhere in flu season.

>heroin infested shitholes
What the hell kind of suburbs are around you? That just doesn't happen here

I wondered about this when the whole TRAY-TRAY DINDU NUFFIN shit went down. Like, how was visiting family who lived within the gated community, so I assume that those relatives are the same race as he was (i.e nignog). Why then was the jew-beaner even taking notice of him if black people are known to live there, if in smaller numbers?

You do realize that you don't build a brick house by building a wood house and cladding it in brick veneer, right? Those houses still look like cardboard sheds.

>>69973427
Most people even in the US hate driving and are absolutely awful at it. They only put up with it because your horrid city planning makes distances so great and because it keeps them away from other people. Most drivers would hail the advent of self driving cars, which are basically private buses then.

>>69973577
What else do you expect? How the hell else are going to create housing for one of the largest countries in the world in a population boom?

Americans don't want or like apartments and we have lots of natural resources so of course we're going to use wood

>tfw everywhere in the world is shit

What's the point

>>69973698
I expect you to continue building wood houses instead of building fake brick houses and then hating all brick houses because your fake brick houses are so ugly.

>replying to posts almost 6.5 hours old

>>69962744
Aesthetics-- it makes it look more rustic or quaint in our eyes. And to us, exposed brick looks more expensive than concrete.

It's why we have odd looking things like gabled roofs with false bricks.

>>69973577
Because you are an idiot. Brick is for decoration only. It is called siding. Even multi million dollar houses have wood frames. Hello, it is 21th century, retard.

>>69973807
this fuckwit always shows up in these threads about housing and cars, etc. he was late to the show today lmao

>>69973828
A lot of the new homes I see being built have steel frames actually.

what I dont get are american roofs, they are just particle board covered in rubber fake tiles
its like construction companies have gone for the absolute cheapest option they can in ever part of american house building and nobody thinks twice about it
very short term thinking, these houses are going to need so much money poured into them to keep them standing in the long run

>>69973807
And that's the problem with you Americans. You think you can build wood houses and then slap on an "aesthetic" with veneer. Even on those fake brick houses it's painfully obvious that they're not made from brick because they follow the same geometric and load bearing formulas as all your other houses. It's not a problem of brick, it's a problem of fake brick. An actual brick house will look completely different even shape-wise.

>>69973980
Just wondering, what do you think of car enthusiasts? Do you think the hobby is some kind of blight on human civilization? I recognize the problems that cars cause, but if the majority of drivers opt for more convenient modes of transportation, why not let a small niche group continue their ways?

Just asking because it's one of my biggest motivations to live outside the city

>>69973567
Because they were in a small closed off area and Zimmerbean didn't recognize Traytray as a local. I'm assuming he probably stood out in some different way to him. Gated communities aren't racialized but they're typically expensive so only people with money really live there regardless of their race. A shdy ghetto looking person walking around a gated community is going to stand out regardless. I don't know too much about the case but I imagine Zimbean probably noticed he didn't live there or something. Last I checked Zimmerman was also an overly aggressive guy too so he probably would have gone and approached anyone who looked "out of place".

>>69974156
but If I only own the home for ten years, a rof that lasts for 7 is perfect, ill only have to (cheaply) replace it once, then its someone elses problem

Why should I do work for the next homeowner for free? out of the kindness of my heart?

>>69974078
I'm pretty sure this German dude is a legit sperg. I think he's the same poster that had a meltdown when people started saying Mercedes and Ford were better than Audi and VW a few days ago.

>>69974156
>implying Americans have an interest in preserving anything in the long run
Just tear it down and built a new one when it starts rotting in 30 years, they're cheap! And by then the trend will demand even bigger houses anyway and it'll raise your property value!

I don't know about the trespassing laws there, but he just pointed a gun at you, and you were trespassing. If he'd shot you or at you without reasonable fear of your intention and capability of doing him harm, he would have likely been in a shitload of legal trouble.

>>69974248
a house is a very long term investment, seems like common sense you choose what materials are used in the construction
even in aussie housing estates which are endless hills of suburbs the majority are brick with tiled (real tiles) roofs

>>69974078
>>69974339
You guys always get absolutely fucking everything in the wrong ear. I never even said that brick houses were superior to wood houses, I just said that it's utterly moronic to judge brick houses from wood houses with fake bricks on them. Also almost the entire VW AG is complete garbage and so are GM.

You retard, it is exact same in many first world countries in Europe. Norway, Finland, Sweden, etc all have wood houses that look the cheaper version of ours. Pic related is a typical house in Norway.

>>69973577
That picture is not how brick houses are made in the US. That is a brick facade, not brick construction. Actual brick houses are common here, retard.
Why are you so fucking autistic about this? Either you're totally autistic about your incorrect perception of construction in this country, or a lot of krauts are autistic about their incorrect perceptions of construction in this country.

>>69974564
If the US have so much space to build, then why are Americans so obsessed with property values and houses as retirement investments?

I don't have an issue with car enthusiasts as long as they aren't dicks, I do have an issue with 95% of this country being structured so owning a car (a device which as I said before, is insanely bad for one's psyche if used everyday) and only owning a car. It's the reason our environment sucks, it's the reason we're so fat, and I think it contriutes to the fact that Americans are increasingly becoming less connected to one another and acting more and more like autistic sociopaths with no sense of community
