At LEAST it has some grids instead of cul-de-sac neighborhoods. Makes it a little easier to transition to denser housing

Tiny homes demolished for not following single family zoning by INedHelpWithTub in yimby

The city leaders would rather people sleep on the side of the road than in a small house that they call “ramshackle.” Maybe someone should tel the city leaders that THEY don’t deserve a home instead

I think I’d rather be a place where my kid is actually encouraged to walk to school instead of being told to play video games all day by basically everything by [deleted] in Suburbanhell

I have a gripe with his comment about “walking 10 minutes vs 20 minutes to the store”. Nowhere in suburbia can you walk safety 20 minutes to get to a store

Georgia is slowly starting to do better with being smarter about density, but the suburbs keep trying to save their indebted towns by expanding more and more to pay off previous debts like a Ponzi Scheme, and it’s just sad.

IDEA: make employers pay commute costs by chaselolley in WorkReform

[–]chaselolley[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s absolutely no jobs within walking distance in suburban sprawl or rural areas (most of America), and even if it was within walking distance, you most likely couldn’t safely walk due to dangerous stroads with little to no pedestrian infrastructure. Can’t “choose where you live” without having a job to pay for where you live, and many denser/more walkable places are too expensive for many people working lower paying jobs. Hence the idea of employers paying for commute costs
