In the United States today, nearly half of us live in areas that we refer to as the suburbs. Any dictionary will define the suburbs as those areas, usually residential, that lie outside cities and towns. But, for millions of Americans in the last thirty years, the suburbs have come to mean much more than that.
For those who moved to the developing suburbs after the Second World War, they represented an escape from urban congestion to a home of one’s own—preferably one with an attached two-car garage on a little half-acre of tree-shaded land. It also meant daily communication to work by railroad or expressway, a lawn to mow, and a mortgage to pay off over the year.
Nobody approves of life in the suburbs but the people who live there. Urban cities argue that suburbanites enjoy all the cultural, educational, and commercial advantages that cities offer without paying for them. Farmers worry about losing their farms to uncontrolled suburban sprawl. The suburbs have also been criticized for the monotonous sameness of their design and for their ability to insulate their inhabitants from the problems of larger society in which they live.
On the other hand, defenders of the suburbs argue that the life-style that they offer is more varied and more inclusive than the critics admit; there are many different kinds of suburbs and a variety of people living in them. While the development of the suburbs has created problems, it also has provided substantial modern housing for millions of people. Suburban living offers the best of two worlds—the city and the country—at a price that many are able to afford.
Many people will always prefer the hectic pace and excitement of life in the city, while others will want the more tranquil pace of life in the country. But, for those in either city or country who are willing to compromise, the suburbs are waiting.
The strongest argument against the suburbs is that______.
