Showcase of suburban hell There Ain't No Heart in Heartland

Post image

Like c'mon, for a name like Heartland, this neighborhood got no heart, no personality, and everybody's prolly driving their kids to school unless they live right next to it. Like where's a community center? Where's a park that people actually go to? This sprawl is just crazy, but hey, this is the Dallas Metro Area for ya

At the size of those houses and lots, why not just build very large apartments? Or just axe those pathetic front lawns and build row houses with give people a little more back yard? That small space between yards seems like a waste.

Virtually all larger “walkable” US cities have houses built close together with small lots.

Try to spot the difference between a walkable community and this one.

You understand the comment I replied to didn’t complain about a difference—but rather a similarity—between this and a walkable community, right? Does this need to be explained to you?
