Apart from lower costs, suburb housing usually has more space, features like yards for pets or kids, less crime, parks and things that aren’t as crowded or littered (with needles in the city parks near me), better schools, shorter travel times between common family activities, etc. Suburbs aren’t popular for some irrational reason like HN often paints - they simply have better quality of life for many people, especially those who are 30+ or have families.
- velcrovan 2y agoThe attractiveness of the American suburban compromise is just an accident of American policy choices, and that suburban compromise has major downsides that we’ve been frog-boiled into accepting (see TFA). Different policies would make urban living much more attractive than suburbs, as is the case in much of the rest of the developed world. So when you say “better”… yeah, fine, if we’re going to refuse to govern constructively and responsibly, yes, suburbs are probably a better choice in that landscape.
