how do amerimutts live like this?
grid style neighborhoods dont exist in your 3rd world country?
I grew up in something like this. Was great as a kid but as an adult I'd be pretty pissed. My dad got fined by the HOA for painting the garage door something other than a shade of white one time.
What if you want to frow veggies or plant trees in your backyard? I noticed no one has done that in the OP.
Backyard gardens are easy in these types of places, people just don't garden as much anymore
Most people don't grow gardens
Every HOA is different and a number of subdivisions and neighborhoods don't have them. In other cases municipal codes determine what you can and can't do with your home and yard.
ok
Another thing I noticed is there are no fences in the front of the house, is that also forbidden? What if you want extra security?
Suburbs are meant to be low-crime by design, so a fence in the front isn't going to protect your lawn and shrubs from anything. The fences in the backyard are meant more for privacy and containing children and pets.
>low-crime by design
It's because you don't have enough diversity yet. In Brazil we have closed, walled neighborhoods with door keepers and nightwatches AND individual fences and it's still not enough.
Yeah I've seen the Saffer suburbs that have reinforced concrete walls with razor wire and private security guards.
>is that also forbidden?
Again varies by location
Do Europoors live like this?
what's the deal? looks comfy
You have to be literally moronic to prefer living in an apartment instead of a house with your own garden.
I live like this, you are braindamaged. Amerimutts can be mocked for a thousand reasons but making fun of them for living in a house instead of a piece of shit commieblock is just ridiculous.
Yeah I can tell you're an amerimutt or someone who's never lived in a commie block. Commie block apartments are horrible. You hear your neighbors all the time. If there's construction in one of the apartments, you hear it even if there are several floors between you because it conducts sound. It is not exactly nice to wake up to a jackhammer raping your ears on the weekend.
I will take an American cardboard family home over an overpriced cuck pod.
Rate my 15 minute city living.
you ain't paying your own rent/5
SOUL
Looks no less horrifying than the suburban sprawl.
>MIGDONALS
dystopian
Holy shit, is that sensible mixed-use zoning with commercial space on the ground floor and residential on the upper floors, surrounded by bike-friendly, pedestrian-focused infrastructure and plenty of public transportation? Thisnis totally worth paying half my paycheck in taxes!
>HOLY SHIT I GET TO PAY 90% OF MY INCOME IN LIVING COSTS??
don't complain about your poorness afterward homosexual
If you honestly think that is all better than the American city where there is shit tons of room at least outside major downtown cores, idk what to say to you. I guess a cage if just as nice as a field to a bird that's never been free.
Soviet bloc aside, I miss the snow. I live less than a hour away from the Alps and I can't remember the last winter it snowed in my town.
Show us your 600sqft flat or commie bloc and explain how that's better
Because 97% of the rest of the continent live like this
>continent

Wow so colorful and vibrant

its really not that bad after a decade once people plant trees everything starts to grow in.
No one is forcing you to live in these types of neighborhoods I don't understand why these make people angry.
they're mid, urban designers should do something better.
Equilibrium
for me its snowpiercer
Oh no, Coca Cola owns Fanta?? Save me, Bernie!
I enjoyed Viviarium but it probably would've been better with a lead other than fricking Jesse ((Eisenberg)).
suburbs are comfy if you're not surrounded by undesirables. this is just a newish one and the trees aren't full grown in yet.
also lots should be at least a little bigger tbqh
I live in a fairly small terraced house in europe and I would love to have some more living space, but i think i would find the car dominant infrastructure unbearable
>car dominant
Walk a mile, fat.
>but i think i would find the car dominant infrastructure unbearable
Lmao urbanoids are insane.
Roads are literally thousands of years old and foundational to civilization
What's wrong with efficiently planned suburbs? Do you want people to live in commie blocks or expensive architecture homes to drive up house prices even more?
>Efficiently
It's so uniform that you might as well just live in one of those pods.
yep it's a coping thirdie/europoor thread
It do be like that.
>What are your favorite dystopian movies, Cinemaphile?
This one:
The only problem with modern suburbs is the plot size. They pack the houses in so tightly that there is no yard space for large trees to grow. Only smaller ornamental trees that will never provide useful shade.
If you look at old photos of suburbs from the 50s and so on they also looked sterile and cookie-cutter when they were new, but now they look comfy because they have big trees lining the streets and alleys.
Smaller plot size sucks, but it's better than pricing the lower-middle class out of home ownership. Plot size for starter homes has always been rather small anyway, look at the closeness and size of old mill village homes.
It's like b***hing about how uncomfortable air travel is now. Yeah, it sucks, but if it didn't suck a little bit then it would probably be too expensive for you
these aren't great but if neighbors are actual neighbors, interact with each other and whatnot it's not that bad
Truly dystopian. I much prefer my apartment that has the exact same layout as every other unit in my building.
i love being american. no amount of shitposting will change my mind
A suburb is just an incomplete village. Break up the grid, plant some trees, add a grocery store and a library, what's not to like?
Looks like a great place to live if they only allowed White families and single Asian women.
>having a home is dystopic
First world problems
LIVING IN THE SPRAWL
DEAD SHOPPING MALLS RISE LIKE MOUNTAINS BEYOND MOUNTAINS
Is that... a middle class neighborhood?! This is literally 1984.
Monsters Inc. An entire world of creatures who traumatize kids for wealth & the sad part is that they are jaded by it. If it was truly demonic creatures that would be one thing, but its just a 9-5 to these creatures. It's really fricked up, they are capable of empathy & communication & still preyed on children
Is this the kind of neighborhood depicted in the Donnie Darko?
>people will pay enormous sums of money and live in soulless neighborhoods like this just so they don't have to be around blacks
Unironically yes
It's called the black tax.
I bet it's wonderful during the holidays when people put out decorations. Halloween, trick or treating with all your neighbors. Christmas caroling, backyard (front yard in this case) snowball fights, summer BBQs where the everyone shows up, letting your kid bike down calm suburban roads with calm traffic & straight lines where you can keep your eye on them.
It is. I’m not really into this but we have pickelball courts at the community center and there are tournaments every month or so. We also have weekly card nights and other games and activities like a hiking club.
literally the entire point of their existence
I've lived next to blacks and it's worth the tax
Utterly soulless if we're being quite honest tbh.
Is that from Vivarium? A good movie but probably one of the most downbeat endings I've seen. Super depressing. I did want to see a little more information or motivation like who does the boy meet or what's the point. But I guess it works as a mystery and motivation is just survival. Maybe that makes it more depressing, there's no grand plan, just the next Martin.
These neighborhoods look worse from the sky than the ground. I kind of agree with most posts here there's different sides. There actually are places that come close to the movie. Like you could get lost when there's only 3 different door and garage door colors. Who the frick does that appeal too? Yeah owning property is better I guess but some little square amongst a bunch of other ones isn't that great. The suburbs you might see in an 80s movie where the shit is more unique and a little more spaced out is cool. A really old apartment is cooler than a cookie cutter house.
Picture is from Saint David's, PA. I just remember going to the Microcenter there and thinking comfy area.
>posting about Vivarium without posting Poots
Ngmi
Can you post a place that looks like Donnie Darko's neighborhood?
I guess I could Google but that'd be the same luck as you but I feel you for sure. Suburban but some areas for Donnie to hang out with friends vs every goddamn quarter acre is another house.
Now I'm on a thing, stuff I start to look at in movies. Could be title cards, the credits, clothing, now it's going to be neighborhoods.
Lol bonus suggestion. Not dystopian but the area was cool. Movie is on the better side of so-so.
AHHHHH NOOOO PLENTIFUL LIVING SPACE WITH YOUR OWN BACKYARD, I'M GOING INSANE, SAVE ME MARX!
Generally suburban neighborhoods diversify after a number of years. When they start out new then yeah, the houses all look the same because it's built by one developer and a lot of the trees are freshly planted as well. Over time people add their own touches/landscaping and it becomes more kino.
>plentiful living space
Are we looking at the same picture? I could spit into the other neighbors yard from my front door
better than nothing. these type of neighborhoods are meant to be affordable.
Have you ever actually tried to purchase a home in one of these? A 1200 sq ft shitbox where I live runs for 300k starting, and I'm not even in California
So slightly cheaper than a downtown studio condo.
The fact that you would engage in that behavior says a lot
autism
Don't spit on my property or I'll spit lead back b***h. I think spitting counts as a biohazard from all you aids gays now
your autism keeps showing. that anon was using a figure of speech, bt your damaged brain cannot comprehend it. this is why you are horrible in irl social situations. that's why you are alone.
Maybe anon shouldn't engage in degenerate discussion that paints him as a subhuman?
you really are incapable of understanding basic human conversations aren't you?
AAHHHH IS THAT A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF A WELL ORGANIZED NEIGHBORHOOD THAT MAKES IT LOOK GRID LIKE WHEN NOBODY IS LIVING LIFE FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE AND IT HAS NO BEARING WHATSOEVER??
I'M GOING TO LOSE IT
>this sends the american into a frothing rage
You post these threads everyday. Suburb seethe threads far outnumber urban seethe threads. You guys should start asking to get paid for trying to propagandize cities. Doesn't really matter, the trend is mass suburbanization right now and no amount of cope and seethe on Cinemaphile will change that. People like affordable houses in safe clean communities and remote/hybrid makes it even easier.
You can ride your bus full of smelly immigrants, or spend 2 hours on a bike. Meanwhile, I'll travel where I want when I want in total comfort listening to my own music.
I let the bus driver drive me while listening to my own music and browsing Cinemaphile.
Enjoy getting that stink out of your clothes.
The oil & auto company literally bought public transportation & let it turn to shit on purpose to sell cars. It's not our fault. Rich israelites literally filled our busses with trash & Black folk & let the busses fall to pieces
>The oil & auto company literally bought public transportation
Why does your side have to lie?
They did it in LA my friend, feel free to refute it. I'm just glad I live in a high white rural area & don't have to deal with that shitshit
>They did it in LA my friend, feel free to refute it.
The government capped streetcar fares at 5 cents and made public utilities divest their streetcar systems. Muh Big Earl just swooped in after that and converted those systems to buses.
And streetcars were already beginning to be replaced by buses in the 20s and 30s, well before tHe GrEaT aMeRiCaN StEeTcAr ScAnDaL came along
Who do you think lobbied for that governance?
.
It's not moving goalposts to say that the oil companies did something when they did something. It's like arguing "the government doesn't build roads, people paid by the government do"
Yes it is. Read the reply chain midwits
Started here
Claiming that Oil & Auto fricked people over. How did they do that? By lobbying for favorable policies. You're actually the idiot passing the buck back to the governmental policies, but I guess you weren't ready for that were you?
>Claiming that Oil & Auto fricked people over.
Wrong:
"The oil & auto company literally bought public transportation"
How did they afford it? Lobbying for favorable policies...
If you had a coupon would you use it? Or pay full price like an idiot?
>Lobbying for favorable policies...
How do you know?
How do you not?
I accept your concession.
If the Oil & Auto companies lobbied for policies favorable to their plans then its not moving the goalposts idiot. You're the one who drew an imaginary line at streetcar scandal
>high white rural area
I literally don't lock my doors. All of my neighbors will shoot trespassers. Shit's cash man.
Only cash if you can stand beside your neighbor with a rifle in your hands as well but yes
Owning less sure is based!
you know you can have walkable cities AND personal vehicles at the same time right? It's about having a choice.
You can but it's more difficult, because your taxes will have to subsidize infrastructure for cars AND walking, which means you have less disposable income for having a car, which is why most European countries have lower average rates of ownership anyway
bikes would be kino if the infrastructure was there and would literally solve our obesity problem overnight
why is the bus shown at full capacity, but each car is only represented by the driver?
also that bus would be hell to travel in
>How come the propaganda doesn't show both sides in an equal light?
Welcome to israeli trickery. First day?
see: endless movies/media trying to find creative ways to vilify suburban life
endless movies/media that glamorize urban life
What percentage of people carpool to work?
Public transport is only used to bring people to work?
In first world countries, people wanting to go on a family trip will just use their personal vehicles. Public transit is primarily used along residential-commercial routes, obviously.
another US vs EU thread to anger the low iq masses.
i wonder who is behind it.
I'm not a fan of dystopia movies because they always have such moronic premises
>we've divided society into reds and blues. reds are the evil rich people while blues are the poor people living in shantytowns, Also we banned sex for some reason.
moronic shit like that.
When are they going to make a movie about the super rich colluding with the super poor to gang up on the working middle and squeeze them of all remaining resources and agency? Wouldn't that be a crazy premise?
>people had to be ... LE TRICKED ... into wanting their affordable spacious house and clean plot of land in a safe neighborhood
>people had to be ... LE PROPAGANDIZED ... into wanting their own affordable machine horse that opens up a world of opportunity and convenience to them and allows for at will travel anywhere
People seriously think like this. They make it a core tenet of their existence even. They wake up and start posting threads trying to share this with other people and they aren't aware of how they look doing so. In their mind, it's an "own." This is called being a narcissist.
I do feel like if you live in a big country that has enough wealth that the majority of people can afford their own vehicles then naturally the public transport is going to be shit. unless you think your local government should invest your taxes into a transport system that no-one uses.
It didn't used to be shit though.
A lot of things seem to end up like this. No one uses thing because it's shit, no investment because no one uses it.
The leftist doesn't understand community in the same sense as a rightist & the need to stand with your neighbors. They can't handle personal responsibility so they force responsibility on everyone else.
trump lost chud
I'm not a trumpgay but keep swinging wild friend
sure little guy
Is this conversation going to go anywhere my friend?
It's also obvious projection. They think the only way popular things could ever get popular is due to propaganda, not natural utility and demand. Therefore they think their meager attempts at propaganda are going to register at all, whatsoever, with normal people. They shill commie blocks and busses and trains to a mass of deaf ears.
"I must force reality to fit my view" rather than "I must use reality to shape my views."
the urbanite cannot fathom the idea of owning their residence, any amount of land or a reliable mode of transportation that can take them across country at any moment and it terrifies them at a primal level.
And being narcissistic, they seek to eradicate that fear and insecurity by forcing it to "disappear" by way of outlawing that way of life and forcing everyone else into their own rank. No consideration at all for another perspective or desire.
Grim existence as a child, always relying on your parents to get you anywhere
why do the parents have to pick up their kids at the building like a formula racer pulling in to get a tire change
fricking hell this is shit
Leftists blame cars for this but it's actually their nanny state government refusing to let kids leave school unless someone is there to sign them out.
literally herding cattle
Were you expecting a cavalry charge or a line?
I would expect kids to be let out of the school to walk to their parents' cars wherever they parked
As another anon noted that would be against school (government) policy
the policy is moronic
what fresh hell is this?

Hairy-legged yurosocialist serf spotted.

Cities Skyline 2 looking dope.
At least plant some trees... makes it look so much better
Just not near your downspouts or sewage drain line. You'll pay for it.
t.plumber
trees are frowned upon in postmodern suburbs because they're extra maintenance and cause damage during inclement weather
this is a working class suburb
this is an upper middle class suburb
More like "working wealthy" & generationally wealthy" but yeah it means the same thing now.
the amerimutt mind cannot fathom kids with independence and freedom
You can see trees are planted. You realize that shit takes years to look like that right? I design landscapes for businesses and wealthy people, the amount of times I have to tell people that their final design won't really come to fruition until a decade later is baffling sometimes.
Honestly I would happily take this now. Slowly watching the promist of home owner-ship, even the most HOA-aids infested versions, slip away from me right before my eyes is really getting to me
There. Much better.
If you had the same thing but placed one house on top of another and banned cars it would make commies cream.
>If you had the same thing but different then people would feel differently
I will not accept cage analogies from people in the cuck cages barreling down the stroad.

>City slickers itt arguing about which goyslop city design is better
>me living in the country, not a Black person in sight
most people need to work for a living, anon
Took me a long time to come to this realization. It makes all the difference in the world. No more engaging in all of that nonsense, locking everything, seeing trash and dregs daily. Just get away from them. Life improves. You might even become a humanist again.
>herded like cattle just to avoid Black folk
Sad country
What would you have them do?
I live in a suburb like this and we have tons of black people. They just act civilized. Shit some of them have nicer yards than mine
If you grab the better ones and split them up so the dominant culture isn't their own, it can work
>Europeans saying the suburbs are dystopian and then saying massive apartment buildings have SOVL
lol, we don't even shove blacks in those things anymore. I'd rather have a small house with a small yard over living on the 14th floor of a concrete monolith, hearing my neighbor cough at night.
>hearing my neighbor cough at night.
European buildings aren't made out of paper so this doesn't happen.
>the alternative
bot thread
honestly people both sides of this argument are stupid. there should be subdivisions but there should also be good rail and bus lines connecting these areas to cities. there should also be dense condo areas and superblocks in cities that could alleviate the housing shortage with bike lanes within.
>but there should also be good rail and bus lines connecting these areas to cities
No. We don’t need Black folk here. Sorry, you’re just going to have to stay in your ghetto. If I need to go into town I will drive there.
>We don’t need Black folk here
You're shit out of look then given that you already exist in the space in question.
