Car-dependent suburbs suck. But that doesn’t mean that all suburbs suck. It is possible to build suburbs that don’t suck, and the US and Canada used to design great suburbs all the time. But even though these pre-war suburbs are loved by many people, and in huge demand, they’re illegal to build today.
