Modern American Suburbs are ruining your mental health as they are lonely, car-dependent, and lack Third Places. Due to Euclidean zoning laws, minimum parking requirements, and other regulations, it is illegal to build anything other than these isolating single-family homes. This does not mean suburbs are bad as a concept: Streetcar Suburbs are an example of suburbia that are walkable and foster community.
