McSuburbs
The McSuburbs are those new copy-paste towns that are only designed for cars & big business instead of people. McSuburbs don't have public transportation, forcing everyone to drive. They suck to live in, unless you hate talking to people & love sitting in traffic for every errand. Despite being built strictly for cars, they also are miserable to drive in due to heavy traffic & poor planning.
The residential zone is a massive sea of ugly cookie-cutter single-family luxury homes. These neighborhoods are designed for cars-only, eliminating walking or biking.
The shopping zone is strictly built for Big Business. Massive parking-lots, clogged up roads, & all the businesses are corporate, so no mom & pop shops.
McSuburbs also are devoid of any fun night-life or 3rd places for people to just hang out. Kids growing up in these suburbs need their parents to drive them around EVERYWHERE.
McSuburbs have all the negative traits of Urban, Suburban, & Rural living all rolled into one package.
There are plenty of historical suburbs that are actually nice to live in, such as the classic Street-car Suburbs of old America or the suburbs seen in Europe & Japan. But the McSuburbs are a dystopia.
