Sorry but what is this “you should be able to walk everywhere” meme? You realize when we could only walk places we didn’t go anywhere and people mostly just died from random stuff? Now you can travel anywhere, across the entire world even, for whatever it is you seek. But you’re supposed to, for some arbitrary reason, in your brain, be able to walk everywhere you need and that’s what makes a city good? Explain.

Suburbs are to cities what wage theft and white-collar embezzlement are to robbery and burglary. The latter seem threatening to a certain complexion of sensibility, but if you look at the actual numbers and net damage to society, the former are way, way worse.
Suburbs are essentially a Ponzi scheme that rely on subsidies from denser and more profitable parts of a given region to sustain themselves.

Europeans pay more for gas (the costs aren't as externalized) and as a result drive fewer miles per year. Americans average 13k miles, Europeans about half that.

Have you ever considered that people living outside of population centers need to commute further and farther than others? Wouldn't it make sense to break it apart into individual European countries to try to make this comparison? Or would that require some actual effort?

>>56033480
>Have you ever considered that people living outside of population centers need to commute further and farther than others?
Yes. We used to do it with electric railways and land management that defaulted to lots of smaller mixed-use population centers. It's not a coincidence that the American small town declined with the rise of suburbs. The advantaging of auto transit made farther-out, disconnected living reasonable on its face, but not sustainable in the long-term, and it's important to note that this was not a natural consequence of America's geography and regionality, but a concentrated effort on the part of corporate interests and social engineers.

>Kiddo
Cute. But, no, they're not sustainable. That's why the outer ring of suburbs of a given city move out every 20-ish years. The innermost rings are abandoned to the working class, who don't have the political influence to force municipalities to maintain the failing infrastructure; the cost of doing so is prohibitive and doesn't support land values (and therefore the tax base) that shiny new luxury housing does. And, lest you get any ideas: the new stuff isn't paid for either; it's put on credit. Taxes are just to support bond payments.
You dumbasses always try to present Asian high-rises as the only alternative to SFH, as if it weren't a transparently braindead tactic. What needs to be built are Missing Middle structures: low- and mid-rise apartments, n-plexes, and townhomes. A significant number would have the same square footage as comparable SFHs, and even land-inclusive ownership. But you don't mention those because the tend to make your tantrum-laden "arguments" fall apart. The majority of people would LOVE to live in a 2000sqft, 2-story duplex/apartment within walking distance of their kids' elementary school and a bunch of municipality-funded amenities. This was, in fact, the promise of early suburbs, before they were warped to fit the economic realities of the batshit insane model.

Houston and by extension all of Texas follow a very simple rule, if you're wealthy life is sweet and if you're not then you're just grease for the machine. Nobody gives a fuck about the city being walkable because only an insane person wants to walk around on concrete when it's 110 degrees outside with humidity. You buy a car, you keep the AC nearly full to bursting with refrigerant, and you use that motherfucker to get around and do what you need to do. And you put up with it because there's an army of Mexicans willing to work for you for next to nothing that'll still do a good job because they remember what terror is like fleeing what they came from. It is a city dedicated to making sure as many people get cancer and heat stroke as possible while remaining profitable, and I openly laugh at anyone that thinks it's redeemable or that it was ever going to end up different than it has.
