      paris.

      dense enough? considered worth living? because if all ppl would live i a terrible terrible city like paris, we’d have a shitload of nature back.

      anyone who thinks one deserves to live rural just says his/her personal choice of lifestyle is more important than a future for the kids. rural areas destroy so much nature and take up way too much land.

          Suburbs are part of the spectrum between rural and urban. Some population density and some open space.

          The main problem with suburbs is that they are exclusively residential instead of a mix with commercial.

            Suburbs are worst of both worlds. And american suburbs based on what I know about them are worst type of suburbs.

              I lived in a suburb that had shopping and a city park in easy walking distance as a kid and it was pretty awesome. I now live in one where the nearest business is 2 miles away and it sucks. Both in the US and with wildly different experiences.

              I also lived in a fairly dense residential area that was great as there were businesses in walking distance that were fun to go to, and another where there were businesses, but they all sucked so I had to drive somewhere else.

              The real problem is the separation if residential and business zoning to such a degree that going to any business requires transportation.
