the horror of the suburbs

• isolation, alone amongst people
• lack of transport, car supremacy, walkability
• the housewife, nuclear families, the home as workplace, lack of third places, lack of varied/productive/leisure spaces
• private and public space
• ‘behind closed doors’
• homogeneity, neighbour-monitoring, neighbourhood watch, competitive homeownership, belonging
• land and border disputes on micro-scale, trouble with building and sustaining communities
• wealth disparity
