If you've watched pretty much anything on this channel , you'll know that I hate car - " Suburbia " .
The oversized roads . The car traffic . Parking lots that are bigger than the shops they .
Being unable to even buy food without getting in a car .

Constantly needing to pass depressing where nobody wants to be just in order to get anywhere .

Constantly insolvent places that need to stay . Asphalt as far as the eye can see .
This awful view from my cousin's balcony that I keep showing in almost every video because , I mean ,
just look at this . Everything about this is !

WHY DO WE KEEP PLACES LIKE THIS ?
More importantly , why is it impossible to build almost anything other than places like this anymore ?

There is not a problem with " SUBURBS " .
Suburbs have existed almost as long as cities have existed , and there is nothing wrong with them .
The problem is car - dependent suburbs . And that ? s what I mean when I talk about " Suburbia " .

The confusion is understandable because for about the last 60 years or so ,
car - dependent suburbs have been the only suburbs that were legal to build in most places in The United States ,
and some other countries like Australia .

Which means there are entire , literally hundreds of millions of people , who have
no concept of a suburb except that of a car - dependent suburb .

Talk to a typical American , and they ? ll probably tell you that you can only live in one of two places : a city , or a - dependent suburb , because almost nothing has been built in - these two extremes for as long as they ? ve been alive .
