LOL I got this 🐰 triggered.

It is not me who has been crying Pakistan is evil for the past 20 years...
I am 'triggered'. Pakistan is truly a 'superior' military force than the US.

How Suburbia Is Ruining America​

No wonder there are many people complaining about how they can't get decent internet providers in such areas, to think that fibers are actually much cheaper than gas/water pipelines or roads.. makes little sense

You mean like this...???


Instead of a mindless 'LOL', maybe you could challenge what the article said. But then again, 'mindless' is the perfect descriptor for your participation in this forum.
They do exist here in China but it never became a trend. the fact that you can only find decade old articles on this subject is already a proof.

Suburbs in the US are generally a net negative on the city's finances which are subsidized by denser areas.

It's fine that some will always prefer to live in low-density suburbs because of various reasons, just that they should be subjected to much higher property taxes/utility bills to internalize the negative externalities low-density suburbs create. And maybe then the demand for inefficient sprawling suburbs will drop.

Informative video which I recommend watching:

Sure...

2016 still, I don't know why these foreign media was hyping up China's suburbs around that time, I've seen more recent news about them being torn down than they were built


Demolition is a common occurrence in China in its countryside and shantytowns, where people often live in poverty. But Beijing is now demolishing large swaths of its wealthy suburbs, whose well-connected residents are protesting.​

Why are they protesting? Because they do not want to return to 'prison' apartments.
quite different here in east Asia, especially in Japan, where high-rise condos are considered superior to suburban villas actually

You should expand your reading. In anthropology, ten yrs is a short time in respect to social and cultural shifts. Think about what you just said...That there are more news about Chinese suburbs being torn down than built. But you cannot destroy what is not there. Get it?

Abstract​

Since the late 1990s, Chinese cities have been experiencing significant suburbanization with massive numbers of people moving out of city centers. Facing this background, this paper aims to identify the typology of residential resettlements in suburban areas, and analyze the mechanisms of each residential resettlement via archive studies, census tracks and field research instead of the traditional macro-demographic approach. Five types of resettlement are identified, comprising public housing districts for poor people with housing difficulties, low-end private housing districts for lower socio-economic people, multiple housing districts (containing public housing and low-end private housing) for displaced shantytown residents, and villa areas for the wealthy.​

they got torn down most of the times because they were built illegally, or some other times in the name of environment protection

But that is not the point...which is about human nature. They were built because people want a little bit of privacy, a place they can call 'my own'. That they were built illegally and/or in disregard to environmental concerns is proof of that desire -- avoid prison.

You probably missed my post earlier

cultures can be very different around the world.

Good cars .
You get 10 year warranty
Impreza WRX STI is my favourite also forester is good car
Much better than Chrysler and Ford in my opinion , Japanese cars overall are the most reliable in the world . US is no different to the rest of the world in appreciating lasting quality .

You just know nothing about anything of China, one of my friends has one of these “小产权” villas, some illegal developers built those fancy houses on the lands they don't own and sell them at a much lower price, and once the land ownership disputes occur, if can not be settled, some of those houses would be demolished, my friend's house survived cause they reached some kind of agreement or compromise.

Did you watch the videos? it's not about whether they are nicer or not, it's about sustainability and impact on the economy.

First of all the guy is from
Location:Czechia

He is claiming things like you need perpetual growth to fix large issues like needing to rip up streets to replace old pipes and such.

Unfortunately he is not aware of how this is done. They don't rip up the streets.
They have machines with augers that run the length of the pipes and then they are relined..from the inside.

As for utility poles and electrical/cable wires their maintenance is paid by the utility companies not by the city/town. If it was paid by locals then every poor inner city area or town wouldn't have electrical wires going to their homes. The cost of upkeep is spread out over everybody's utility bills.

National Grid fixing a telephone wire outside the city. No, the residents of the town are not paying for it.

Mixed-use neighborhoods:
One of videos is saying people should demand mixed-use neighborhoods in their suburban towns. Well apparently these people don't realize the residents of those towns always have that option available. If it is needed it is implemented..if isn't needed it isn't implemented. Simple as that.

The people complaining the loudest about the suburbs are usually the people who can't afford to live there.

He is not alone, there are tons of related videos and articles come to the same conclusion that US suburbs are a ponzi scheme and are not self sustainable, go and check them out.
