Cities and close-in suburbs have evolved to be somewhat sustainable. As they grow in popularity, can the exurbs do the same? Or will they be stuck forever as "truck-oriented communities"?
In Texas the trucks in those communities eventually move beyond the exurbs. I can't see them moving in. They treasure their freedom more than they savor community. Although, I would dare say communities are stronger where they are not forced.
Thoughtful, but what about the many of the intangible impacts of suburbs/exurbs? I.e. they are terrible for the soul. My dad has lived in Irvine for decades. It’s “nice”—isolating and boring and monotonous. That’s degrading to individuals and community.
The epitome of sprawl, eh?
