But i wont post those here

I was looking for the Burbs, but had forgotten the name of it. Both movies are similar, maybe even reboots.

Can an American explain to me why they really don't want to have shops/bars/supermarkets/market places/parks/woods/banks/grocery stores/ANYTHING in residential areas?

What the fuck is this design for? You have to walk 30 minutes to get to anything? Oh...

>Americans don't walk

I guess that's it.

I used a sony handycam

they have cars

Super Dark Times, good kino

That's how suburbs are here. Urban areas aren't like that.

To be fair, people are catching onto this and a lot of new developments are a cross between residential and retail/commercial space

Automotive manufacturers lobbied in the 50s to get big highways built so everyone would have to drive everywhere to move easily. I spit on the grave of Ford and laugh at the rust belt.

Suburbia, 1983

I don't mind US style suburbs. What I don't like is pic related

Tell me more, why did you do it, what did you do to them, are you and your friends black?

We do in some areas and not in other areas. Americans don't all live im suburbs

can someone explain the resistance to changing the zoning in california? how do people think taht higher density will make it harder to have access to housing?

Halloween

based CulDeSac Aesthetic

Are you telling me this was some kind of trap to force Americans to need a car and consume gas???

my friend went to miami and when she wanted to go a market (7 blocks!) they uncles were surprised when she rejected the car trip because wanted to walk
americans are wierd

American Beauty is the only suburbia kino

They're actually the weird ones. No one who lives in a city would want to drive

Suburbs were a way of escaping niggers. We can't segregate by race so it has to be by money.

It used to be. They're moving to the suburbs now thinking they "made it"

And white people are "gentrifying" inner cities.

Because we were bored.
I'm in my late 40s now.
White, except one of us. He was mexican.

gentrification - is just code word for reduction in robbery and rape

The interstate system has nothing to do with suburbs.

Was it kino?

No.

Question to Americans:

Is a block a group of buildings or one building? Show me some pictures.

Edward Scissor Hands is kino too my nigga.

the suburbs are truly hell. a privileged, cozy, safe, hell.
nothing happens. ever. husbands/wives go out of their mind with boredom and their kids cannot wait to escape and live in a crowded city.

You're lying satan

Small, mostly white towns are where it's at.

OP has probably seen this, but this is a comfy masterpeice set in Suburbia... directed by Richard Linklater, written by Eric Bogosian, 90s soundtrack...

Attached: stepfather1987.jpg (400x596, 62K)

but your pic related is necessary because US style suburbs don't have local stores like most communities have

it just moves it somewhere else, blacks don't disappear they just get priced out of their housing

it's neither, if you look at the road layouts, one block is a literal block on a grid. going 7 blocks means going north past 7 east west streets. get your own picture

You have no idea how much space is in the US. Retard.

Depends what you're getting for groceries. If I'm buying 200 bucks worth of shit, I'm gonna need a vehicle to haul it all. If I'm buying eggs and a loaf of bread, then walking makes sense.

It could be improved though - like having the parking behind the stores, or a few trees and hedges to give the area more personality.

The true challenge is finding a movie set in suburbia that's not subversive to the point of retardation, but instead portrays the suburbs like they really are: a peaceful haven from the dangers of urban chaos, filled with nice people and surrounded by beautiful nature.

It's rooted in WASPphobia, but there are some good WASPphobic movies, like Society for example.

I know exactly. Having space doesn't mean you have to structure your town like a moron, though.

The space you're referring to might just be in your head, literally.

Eh maybe you were one of the lucky ones and the darkness passed you by, but anywhere there are people, there are people getting up to no good. There were, without a doubt, rapes, abuse and pedophilia going on in your neighborhood. Lucky you you weren't one of the victims of it.

Source: grew up in an upper-middle class idyllic suburb. Had friends that were beaten, had alcoholic psychotic parents, got diddled, etc. It's alllllways with us.

The sandlot kids

>why would i want all that traffic and noise in a residential area?
I live in exactly such an area: because everything is within 5 minutes of walking, people walk. People aren't noisy when they walk. Traffic is minimal and limited to the slowest pace. The only people driving around are those coming home or going to work, so most of the time, you hear nothing.

What the fuck is wrong with having other types of buildings in residential areas? What's wrong with a cinema 10 minutes from where you live?

I really don't get Americans.

it's a joke. most of the people involved in making those movies live in the expensive gated community versions of suburbia.

The suburbs are nice. It's best if they have big trees and some variety in the yards. It's not a movie, but The Adventures of Pete & Pete is suburbia-kino.

Hook, etc

Put your dick away, user.

this looks like shit suburbia, reminds me of the place where all the somalians are moving into near me. Good suburbia is like what this guy posted you need trees and some houses set back a little bit.

if you have streets in a grid then a block is one square of the grid

i really dont care how you live. there are places exactly like what you are describing here, you can live in the downtown area of a small city and get the exact same experience. i have no interest living like that, you aren't special for living like that either.

Unless you have a car, walking to stores from the suburbs is like walking through the wilderness. You can go miles without seeing any stores and only see houses. Never understood the point of that shit. Even the fucking bus stops were at least 2 miles away from where I was living and my folks wouldn't drive me anywhere. Glad I'm no longer living in that kind of area... suburbs FUCKING SUCK!!! Its like living in the countryside, but you're surrounded by people and cookie cutter houses!

It's used contextually. Blocks in suburbia aren't the same as a block in San Francisco

Because the suburbs, in reality, are boring a peaceful and its "fun" to make media where boring and peaceful things are secretly ebul. Also white people are the primary suburban demographic so FUCK WYPIPO.

That's why I'm requesting pictures. Show me "blocks", so we can see what everyone means by blocks.

>Not gated with guardhouse
>No community center with massive pool

Come on OP, can you even suburb right?

the whole point of a suburb is to get away from that you dumb fuck. go live in a city if you want to live that. you wont because cities are repulsive

Hear me out. What if we got rid of all those roads and turned them into canals then everybody used boats? Has this been tried?

You type like a LITTLE KID!!!

Venice. It's awesome.

Amsterdam.

>want to buy a snack
first line is about food. guarantee you're fat

It's contextual. Do you know what that means? It means the definition of a block changes depending on where you are. I'm telling you it's useless to ask for pictures because they vary town to town.

Well, I still live here and I have a family now. I literally know all of my neighbors, most of whom are good friends, and we've never even had a friggin' robbery, much less all of that. Hollywood has twisted the very notion of suburbia to the point where people like you can claim with a straight face that this shit is what's actually going on in the suburbs. It's not.

Don't get me wrong, I love movies and if a director/writer wants to express themselves that way, then fine. It's human expression. It's art. What weirds me out is their compulsive need to tear something down something so beautiful and pure.

How exactly am I out of touch? Is it out of touch to know first hand how good life can be in the suburbs?

>the people malevolently parodying X know better about X than the people who grew up in X
Don't have sex. Ever. Please.

Well, my dad beat me up whenever I got bad grades, my mom used to drink more than she should at parties and my sister used to kill butterflies for fun, but is that really comparable to how Hollywood portrays the burbs? Every family has problems, even suburban ones. But not every suburban family is straight out of a fucking Stephen King novel.

True.

Those don't really "count" though, exactly because they're kids' adventure/comedy movies.

It's all so tiresome.

>What's wrong with a cinema 10 minutes from where you live?
Our local cinema is near going bankrupt and I live in a small town with 20k people, and you're imagining a cinema serving a neighborhood? You're an idiot. The people living close enough to walk to the cinema live in apartments.

I'm not American btw

Looking at these is makes me just as uncomfortable and depressed as those massive commie apartment blocks. They're both like drone hives but the green lawns and clean, uniform houses make it extra creepy.

Sounds fucking horrible
You shouldn't have to live in a city to live within walking distance of a corner store or a bus stop or even a cafe. You know up until a few decades ago most people did, without living in urban areas.

Motherfucking bullshit dude. They can at least have some small convenient stores nearby. Literally...these sorts of neighborhoods have no real existential point except "Look at us, we live in an HOA and have to be cucked into conforming to community bylaws and told what colors we have to paint our house, and if you don't you'll get a lien and foreclosure." Yeah, some fucking American dream.... GTFO suburban cuck!

>You shouldn't have to live in a city to live within walking distance of a corner store or a bus stop or even a cafe. You know up until a few decades ago most people did, without living in urban areas.

Literally this. Even in small towns you can still live in a nice neighborhood and still be in short walking distance of any conveniences needed. There's literally no reason at ALL to live in an isolated community that you literally need to drive 15-20 minutes to get to the nearest store. "Oh honey, will be back in an hour, running to the store to pick up a half gallon of milk."

It's an absolute garbage dump full of sad, angry poor people. Doesn't really make me feel one way or another.

small towns are boring as shit. if you grew up in a small town you would complain about how boring it is. shut up jesus christ, go fucking move to a small town if thats what you want

Suburbs are usually close to big cities and big cities have jobs

I won't live there because there's a church on every block wtf

>small towns are boring
Nah, you're boring.

That's Mexico City from above.

Better than living in a fucking suburban NPC nightmare.

Jesus Christ I'd rather kill myself than live in an American suburb, even if I got thw house for free.

By 'close' you mean at LEAST 30 miles away, having to wake up at 3 am to take an hour to drive out of the neighborhood, get stuck in 2 hour long rush hours, rush to the office and STILL be late by 10 minutes. Yeah...living the dream there bud!

Not all suburbs have HOAs messing with you, and they can be close to shopping (walking distance even). Being in a more quiet area with a nice greenbelt to walk your dogs on is the best.

I live in one with just under 50'000 people, I'm alright. What the hell is the worthwhile entertainment big city provides? I got movie theaters, bars, services, everything.

This looks so comfy, like there can be no individual will in the community, they all have to fit the mold and if one breaks it they get made to leave forcefully

This is better than living in shithole NYC

I'd take suburb boredom any day, at least you have an actual yard

Mostly they just ignore each other

No thats great. Thats what modern suburbs should be replicating. Why are you so defensive of these housing deserts?

everyone keeps talking about all the horrendous driving and distance. lelwhat everything i need is a 10-15 minute drive away, that is fucking nothing, it takes me longer to jerk off.

Seriously, driving 10 minutes isn't that bad. You could bike too if you don't want to waste fuel. Or walk even if you can spare the time, it's not that far.

why can't they into gardening? why do they all look same? i thought usa was about individuality

Usually people who commute like that can't afford to live in the city and can't get a job within their field anywhere else

That's basically what my suburb is like. Primary school a couple blocks over, some shopping and bus stops nearby. Definitely better that way.

there are usually stores right outside of a suburb like that...

I understand how movies work, thanks. It's not about that, it's about beating a dead horse. How about some diversity of ideas here? When was the last time you watched a movie set in suburbia where the residents were the heroes instead of the standard audience surrogate couple that just moved in and is slowly discovering how ebul the burbs are?

Funny how the subversion in the Sandlot was that it was a peaceful, nice neighborhood the whole time.

i live in a commuter zone for people who work in nyc, no, that's not true at all. they want their kids to grow up in a safer environment. if you think people that live in greenwich connecticut can't afford to live in nyc you're moronic.

But why should you have to drive to the fucking city to do your shopping? when you could just not dedicate every block of land in a 10 km radius to residential housing?

>4 corner stores serving 100 houses
Can you even into economics

Older ones usually have unique looking lawns with some cool gardens.

suburbs are usually within a 20 minute drive from a 'downtown shopping' type of area, it doesn't have to be a big city.

Americans are assholes, suburbs are what the average American can afford at best in order to distance themselves from other Americans.

It's a meme in the same vein as freedom.

Attached: suburbicon[1].jpg (1200x900, 222K)

you're thinking of a very specific subset where everyone in the suburbs is part of a cult/conspiracy. It's usually about a protagonist and his/her family versus one antagonist that's also in the suburbs, and it's not about painting the entire community as ebul unless you're watching something like the stepford wives, you mongoloid. Almost all the movies that have been mentioned in this thread have one individual or one family that is fucked up and has to be stopped by the protagonist. You're painting a picture of some fantasy suburb world that's under attack by the evil jewish media when they'd rather just convince you to vote for Donald Trump so he gives more money and weaponry to Israel.

what a moron. go live in a slum in south america lmao

That you have to drive to on the highway? What if kids want to go to the store after school? What if you only need something small and it's not worth a drive? You're stuck in the middle of a repetitive life less landscape where you need a car for simple tasks. This is how suburbs use to be built before jewy developers decided they could improve their profit margins by just making nothing but the same three houses over and over again without any thought towards community or practicality

Seems like a high estimate, I'm like a 5 minute drive from a shopping area with a grocery store, 20 minutes walking.

Please leave, Shia.

That’s already what suburbs are like you retard, except for stores and bus stops. The only buses that go through residential areas are school buses, and commercial buildings are forbidden in residential zones.

have you ever been in an american suburb in your life or are you just guessing at what they are like? you dont have to take highways everywhere.... i dont know where you got this idea from.
i said within a 20 minute drive. i'm 5-10 minutes away from everything i need. you people have very strange ideas about what an american suburb is like, probably from too many movies

Is Walmart really that bad? Cheap stuff all in one place. Target is less depressing inside, but I've never thought box stores were that terrible.

>commercial buildings are forbidden in residential zones.
which is what a lot of people are talking about in this thread. It's silly to do that

Depends on how the city is set up, but most of them are a pain in the ass. A lot of cities have gone through multiple cycles of growth --> white flight --> decay --> hipster gentrification --> more growth, repeat, so they're set up as a sprawling clusterfuck with pockets of high-crime areas. Columbus is enormous, area-wise, and getting downtown can be incredibly annoying. You basically have to stay in the area you drive to unless you're taking an Uber around the city

A lot of things that don't make sense about America on the surface are simply traps lobbied or paid for by corporations so long ago no one remembers why we do them.

city driving is shit everywhere. i try to avoid it as much as possible

In their majority, the suburbs are very close-knit communities. We trust one another because we know one another, but at the same time we have the decency to mind our own business and let our neighbors be. Stores, bars and the like attract people, which means they inevitably attract outsiders. In the suburbs, outsider = danger. It's as simple as that. I feel confident letting my kids play in the back yard because I know everyone who lives here, the cops are half a mile away and there's not a single store in sight. Plus, I love driving to the city to do my shopping 'cause it feels so fucking good when I get back home. The city is just there to remind me how hard I worked to never have to be near it ever again. We do have woods, though, but that's okay. It's great, even. It's part of what makes the suburb so beautiful. Nature can be tamed. Man cannot.

My parents live in a gated neighborhood full of $1 million+ houses that has security guards at the entrance. It’s really close to a school and like 5 mins away from shops. It’s nice.

Sometimes they do. But even in "nice" areas, it attracts THOSE people.

seems like this thread is just a bunch of euros crying about there being no stores near us. lol are you serious i dont care about driving an extra 5 minutes to keep that shit out of my sight.

This. If anything, the sprawl is even more ghastly with box stores mixed in, but at least I can walk to the supermarket and a bunch of other stores from my house.

>Do I go for Walmart or Target?
You know there was a time when towns had their own local businesses that thrived and served the community in more ways then just selling them a product, and communities were actual communities not just people who lived kinda close and never spoke ever. I'm starting to feel like a lot of these development standards and car culture helped kill the small businesses that use to be the norm.

Yeah and commuting an hour and a half each way is just great. I love getting home and having just enough time to eat dinner and watch the latest episode of TV Show before I have to go to sleep so I can wake up early enough to make it to work on the morning. Life sure is great

It’s not great, but even an old, mid-size city like Philly is tolerable to drive into occasionally.

Thats silly. Is that because only niggers use the bus in America or something?

then what the fuck do you want in a suburb?

Correct.

Not him, but he probably means a place to buy food without driving. A pharmacy, deli, and grocery store. Something like that.

There are plenty of places still like this, you're just observing the natural lifecycle of a suburb. Young families move in when the houses are all new builds, raise families who grow up together and have comfy lives, the kids move out, boomers retire, and now they're dying or moving to nursing homes/retirement homes and poorer people are moving in, or the old people are staying put and the neighborhood looks like shit and nobody goes outside anymore. You either need a new neighborhood (with young families, those neighborhoods are fun to live in if you have a family), or a neighborhood that has a strong gatekeeping municipal government to keep out poor people and maintain property values by not letting anyone move in and start big box stores or shitty new housing developments.

Actual knuckle-dragging, smooth-brained europeon.
I live in Frisco and it’s only a 30 minute drive to Dallas. But guess what, I don’t need to go to the city if I don’t want to because Frisco is a rich suburb that has everything already.

That looks like Canada to me. Not to say that the US doesn't have this as well, but anywhere in the US that has payday loan places is usually an area where you don't want to hang out in for long.

yea thats dumb, all of those are a 5-10 minute drive away from me. what is this weird obsession with walking everywhere? what happens when these people buy extra groceries that they can't carry all at once? multiple walking trips?

My total daily commute clocks in at just under 90 minutes. A small price to pay in exchange for clean air, rich nature, what's considered a luxurious home and a good neighborhood for my kids to grow up in, if you ask me.

Yes and no. Only some of it is revealed to be shite, but everything is as pure as everyone says.

i've always wanted to experience american suburbia, especially growing up in like colorado like that must be super comfy.

only thing that sucks is that you absolutely have to mow the lawn in a certain way, right? like there are laws in place that state that everything has to look the same.

cars, man. in some states you can get a license as early as 14, usually they get them by 16 and since cars and gas cost next to nothing it makes sense.

>small town with 20k people, and you're imagining a cinema serving a neighborhood?
A small town here is 50 people, and we have cafés and lots of shit. A town of 2'500 people has a cinema it's working great. Been active for decades at this point. The next town also has a cinema, both only have one room, but it's always packed and doing great.

You're the idiot, John.

>only thing that sucks is that you absolutely have to mow the lawn in a certain way, right? like there are laws in place that state that everything has to look the same.
That's down to the HOA, and those rules come about because the people that live under them tend to care not, to change them. A few right-minded people on the board will have the HOA almost powerless.

>hurr fuck convenience you should only go to the store when you need a car load of shopping buy more gas use more fuel don't walk avoid outside durrr

you people are the ones absolutely obsessed with having a grocery stores and other food shit within walking distance lmao

>laws that state everything has to look the same
Not where I live at least. I've heard some neighborhoods have rules like that, but not in my city.

i'm not saying the suburbs have soul, just that if i had to choose between a soulless city and a soulless suburbia with a tight community i'd also go for the second option

Mexico City?

I don't know what the rust bell is.

When you buy a lot of food you buy an extra carrying bag, or hell, bring your rucksack that's what I prefer doing

American. You don't seem to understand: if I walk outside, within 50 seconds I can get inside a supermarket, and I don't live in a big town. We're about 5k but spread out and most of it looks like a village.

It's not about driving being difficult or long, it's just fucking insane that you even have to get inside a car to get basic stuff, you doofus.

How much incest occured?
Did you have to make sure the girl you were dating wasn't your first cousin or did you just try not to find out?

This sums up everything I meant. Thanks, user.

Yeah it creates a healthy community when you can walk out your front door, down the street, and into a local grocery store to buy a loaf of bread and maybe say high to whoever's there. It's also far more convenient then only going when it's worth a drive. What is it about walking, using your legs for what they're there for, that is so off putting to you? Do you use a mobility scooter or something?

Commercial areas are where you get the dregs of society hanging out. This was true when I lived in a small town in the UK. Even there, people preferred to drive to the bigger markets that were out of reach of the chavs etc

It's easy enough to stock up so you don't need to make trips everyday.

Hell, I live 5 minutes from uni and 5 minutes from downtown by bike, and a grocery store and kebab shop is right across the street, wouldn't trade that spot for anything

I don't get it either. If I had a yard, I'd have a glorious garden. What the fuck?

we usually don't drive to grocery stores every single day, we load up for a few days/a week and that's it. its called making a list and planning. i dont know why this bothers you so much, i really dont care about a store being that close to me.

Why do these threads always devolve into muh class warz/America bad bullshit? Big city Yurofags, stop kidding yourselves. You would kill to live in an American suburb. Big city Muricafags, how about you stop being green with envy and trying to work your way up instead? Not all of us who live in the suburbs are trust fund kiddies with rich daddies. The American dream is still alive and well, but you have to work for it. Burn that welfare check, it's stolen money from the rest of us anyway, and get a goddamn job. And who knows? Maybe in the future we'll be grilling steaks together on Sundays.

I fucking burst out laughing.

I buy about the whole month's worth of food at Costco. Grocery stores are for stuff like produce that are incidental or can't be frozen for a long time.

>thought Leonardo DiCaprio had hit the wall for a second

Outdoor cooking is by FAR the best thing about owning a house. Pork makes a lot of fumes

I would. People behave here. If you live next to a bar, you won't hear it.

Also this isn't about when you by your groceries, moron. This is about living in communities that aren't isolated shit holes that are essentially man made deserts where you need a car to get anywhere

You really are upset about the grocery store thing huh? I'm not even that guy who brought it up, take a chill pill

>In their majority, the suburbs are very close-knit communities. We trust one another because we know one another, but at the same time we have the decency to mind our own business and let our neighbors be. Stores, bars and the like attract people, which means they inevitably attract outsiders.
Here, I don't know who lives next door to me and we're in an apartment building, not houses. We don't do neighbours networking here, so everyone's already a stranger.

This concept doesn't exist in my country. Gated domains are extremely rare and usually for very rich foreigners. I live close to very famous people, but nobody else has gated anything.

You guys are terrified.

>are you serious i dont care about driving an extra 5 minutes to keep that shit out of my sight.
We know you don't care, that's why everyone else is making efforts not to pollute the planet too much, because you'd rather not walk, you fat fuck.

It's funny because when you think of food and convince stores you're thinking of fatty, sugary trash. Maybe next time you do your food shopping stick to fresh produce and buy more greens then meet, lard arse. Also it wouldn't hurt t leave the mobility scooter and use your feet once in a while

Life is fear-based, son. At least I know my neighbors have my back. Can you say the same about yours?

are advocating for open gates?

>isolated
Yea, from niggers and immigrants
>shit holes
Yes, because a gated community with a golf course in the middle of it is a shit hole
Quit projecting your shitty europoor mindset onto everything, retard.

Honestly, how can you?

This. In my typical European town, local businesses are family-owned and people who own these also live there. It makes it alive. What a nightmare to only have big chains of everything.

euros obsessed with food once again. you do know what a refrigerator is, correct? its this thing the keeps food fresh

Do you live in a suburb like OP's pic?

Cities are meant to freak you out, man. Like, if you're in Times Square among all the noise and the filth and intrusive ads and you're thinking "Aaaah, home! How great is this place, am I right?!", then there's definitely a coupla screws loose up there. The suburbs, especially the non-cookie-cutter ones are a thing of beauty and a much more suitable environment for humans.

Euro "refrigerators" never go below 10 C, lmao what absolute cuckery
