American suburbs are known for their cookie-cutter homes, manicured lawns, and car dependency. While that sounds great to many people, it’s not how everyone prefers to live.
I grew up in a suburb of Detroit but currently live in Chicago. Obviously, they’re quite different. I think both offer benefits based on your needs and lifestyle.
Tristan Cleveland, an urban planner at Happy City recently saw a Reddit post from a Slovakian citizen who recently discovered how different American suburbs are from the cities they orbit after watching this YouTube video from Not Just Bikes.
Tristan shared the Redditor’s questions with his Twitter followers and sparked a discussion about the differences.
