    i suspect that’s a big part of ops point. without proper transport alternatives (eg. bus, bike etc) you’re fucked.

      There’s a lot of people who call exurban areas suburbs. And everyone has basically changed the definition. Suburbs in the traditional definition are usually close to a city (often within the city limits), and has house but also public transport and close access to the city itself. And in that sense suburbs are probably a very nice balance, compared to exurbs. Exurbs are definitely not a nice balance, as it’s nothing but stroads and shitty plazas, with giant parking lots, and fast food chains.

      Brooklyn is technically a suburb. Palmdale, CA is a exurb.
