> In which case the solution is just better suburb design. Make sure there's an area zoned commercial within twenty minutes' walk of nearly every house. Big enough to support at least a small supermarket plus a few cafes and restaurants, and ideally an elementary school as well. It's bad if you have to drive just to get milk and eggs or to take your kids to school. I'm familiar with a fair number of US suburbs (mostly in California) and that's true of all of them. How about some actual examples of American suburbs for which this isn't true?
