Suburban Living
If I could live in my ideal world I think it would be in a place where everyone has enough room to spread out and not bother each other. Close enough to have relationships with your neighbors and be a part of the village, but far enough that you can get the space you need when you need it.
Suburban living is unfortunately a grotesque caricature of that kind of living. You’re spread out enough, but everyone is pulled in random directions by the dictates of life and there’s no community at the core of it. It becomes a place where in order to accomplish anything you must leave.
We fear allowing anyone to have businesses open to the public, but that also prevents us from only having to walk 3 doors down to pick up something at the shop our neighbor would run. Zoning, city planners, and city councils have created this situation where none of this can happen organically and they lament that there is no walkable part of town where people can live, work, and recreate. Instead they come up with "master planned" communities that include these things, but they're done in a way that is only accessible to high production value retail and restaurant chains where so much of the economic value goes to the high production values, paying for the building, and property taxes that all the community has left is low value jobs.
Perhaps if we could find a way to live locally and let whatever might grow do so organically without zoning restrictions we could find a way out of this world where we are dependent on highways, interstates, and burning fuel just to keep ourselves fed and the mortgage paid. Or perhaps we could all move to the country and leave the cities without inhabitant and give those who manage cities nobody to demand permits, licenses, and fees from.
