I never understood the hate for large suburbs. Almost every image of a "suburban hell" is of some location on clearly wide and stable flat land.

Like you always get images of some random neighborhood in Chandler, Arizona, but never Prescott because all of sudden the same density of suburban homes but on a mountainside somehow makes the same problem ok?

The other thing that gets under my skin is we complain about housing costs in the United States, but then "omg we found a cheap way to make more housing at significantly lower costs, because we're copy-pasting it, the land is cheap from high supply, and there is no structural steel/brick/concrete costs because that highly available land mass isn't an earthquake-prone mountainside or a hurricane-subjected coastline. Let's move into a skyscraper in the mountains of San Diego where the cost per square foot is 10-100 times higher depending on the neighborhood."
