Agree or Disagree: Day 12: Suburbs are awesome

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Depends what thou meanst by suburb. I like, as I've said before, older working class residential areas and suburbs (including low density estates here; some can actually be very nice), but they don't really count as part of suburbia. I don't like suburbia. There's something about it that I find lifeless and detestable. I was about to add that post-1980's sprawl is the worst (those things are not houses, whatever they are) but then I remembered the endless swathes of big inter-war semis... which are almost as depressing and generally awful (it's their sheer relentlessness that's so ghastly). And often badly designed, interestingly enough. Very inefficient use of space inside them, generally.

I can understand why others might have a different point of view, of course.
