if you don't commute, suburbs are utopian villages: - small population rings connected to other bubbles - relatively close, self contained amenities - accessible education - free local doctors - basically no crime / no fear - friendly neighbors, everyone walks dogs and chats

the big difference I think is still intra-village transportation: if you could make the internal streets all dense and primarily walking / electric bikes and then just have a parkade somewhere on the edge for external driving, that seems more ideal. save space quieter safer

this plugs in nicely to an idea of efficient last-mile design: that edge of village parkade could easily be a train station or bus stop or car-on-demand service. if we could suck all the wasted parking lot / road space out the living areas, you wouldn't have to walk so far

I'm in I think we'll see a new town that is largely remote workers and catered specifically to the lack of commuting structure that basically every other city up until now has had to design around. if we don't have centralized work zones (office & industrial) everything changes

let's buy up all the cheap land in northern Alberta and then wait for global warming to make it the main habitable zone on the planet
