Nobody's saying 'fuck you' for being forced into suburbs. Were saying 'fuck you' to the people who built suburbs instead of high density housing and made housing near your job unaffordable.

And the people who genuinely had the choice (I might argue you didn't) and chose to pay extra for suburb.

Who pays extra for suburbs? Suburbs are significantly cheaper than the city.

Because they're subsidized to Fuck and city costs are inflated. Suburbs are ecological nightmares, and cannot continue to exist if you want a green earth in 80 years.

How are suburbs subsidized and how are city costs inflated?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

City costs are inflated by exploitative landlords.

Suburb costs are subsidized by basically all the infrastructure for them; none of it pays for itself. Not the roads not the wiring not the water and sewer. Yes I know everywhere has roads, but suburbs demand a high standard of them and don't produce anything with them.

Youre not being space efficient like a city, or (whatever degree of) self sufficient like the country, so everything is just car trips, any time you leave the house. Like in OP.
