I don't like suburbs.

Why?

- I don't like the constant driving to get anywhere.

- I don't like the malls, the big box stores, the "clone" button that seems applied across the landscape.

- I don't like the giant roads carving their way around, splitting communities.

- I don't like the squandering of resources on lawns! individual houses! low-density housing!

I can say, with confidence, I'd like to live in a place where I own my house, where I have some property to do with as I please, where children can play nearby on grass, and where I don't sweat getting rent raised. On the other hand, I can easily see own a very small piece of land and having access to some neighborhood commons as part of a community.
