      We're talking about whether or not it is good planning. I specifically replied to this:

      I don’t live in a community like this but this type of urban planning is not really a bad thing.

      It is bad planning. I wasn't making a moral judgement that having a yard makes you a bad person. Or you're land aristocracy if you have one. It's bad design and okay to criticize regardless.

        There are people who live in places like this, like it and value it. This post is 100% sneering at their way of life.

          No one is sneering at your parents or cousins or whomever has you personally invested here. We're sneering at the way of life that we have lived in and know to be flawed, which is valid.

          Furthermore, that way of life (as it currently exists) is bad for society and the planet.

          I think there will be suburban environments "after the revolution," but they won't look like this.
