    It is bad if you're trying to use land efficiently. Everyone can't have a bit of garden. You could fit all those people into vertical space and then add community gardens of which everyone can participate. The neighborhood would be quiet if it weren't for cars. Other than that, you're going to get people talking and dogs barking even in the yards pictured. Also 100% willing to bet this community is not within walking distance of parks, schools, grocery stores, etc. These types of subdivisions are built all over, even half an hour or more away from some of those things. It's built off a collector or near an arterial connection that will take you to a stip-mall or huge parkinglot shopping center.

    Sounds like you got booty blasted about people insulting yards and you're just being super contrarian.

      Everyone can’t have a bit of garden.

      Not everyone is going to want one, either. I for one like living on an elevated floor because you get fewer bugs coming inside. And I think all the other problems you described are solvable.

        We're talking about whether or not it is good planning. I specifically replied to this:

        I don’t live in a community like this but this type of urban planning is not really a bad thing.

        It is bad planning. I wasn't making a moral judgement that having a yard makes you a bad person. Or you're land aristocracy if you have one. It's bad design and okay to criticize regardless.

          There are people who live in places like this, like it and value it. This post is 100% sneering at their way of life.

            No one is sneering at your parents or cousins or whomever has you personally invested here. We're sneering at the way of life that we have lived in and know to be flawed, which is valid.

            Furthermore, that way of life (as it currently exists) is bad for society and the planet.

            I think there will be suburban environments "after the revolution," but they won't look like this.

      It's like the fucko who got booty blasted about people making fun of cape-shit movies.

      Like no, no, it doesn't matter that they are gigantic propaganda pieces for capitalism, fascism, sponsored by the state department to depict the military/cops in a certain way, etc. What's important here is I'M ALLOWED TO LIKE WHAT I WANT AND THERE IS NO VALID CRITICISM OF ANYTHING BECAUSE MUH PERSONAL CHOICE
