why would you want to live 10+ miles from the city centre? it looks like US cities are inside out. all the rich ppl on the outside and poor on the inside. unlike superior eruo cities where you want to live in the city centre.
US cities are weird.

just by their design i've found most US cities completely lacking character and 'charm'. no history to most of them. the city-planning seems to be all organised around consumer-culture... identikit suburbs in concentric rings of neighbourhoods surrounding a commercial downtown area... with mega mall plexes dotted around in plentiful supply. modern cities are pretty bland, wherever you find them.PrivateVendetta wrote:

cuz most are still growing...outside of the NE and midwest
Some modern districts in cities can be quite nice, but ofcourse its nowhere near the beauty of an old city centre. (west) Berlin for example looks quite alrightUzique wrote:

But at least New York and LA etc. have a focus to them by using a river or the sea. Phoenix doesn't, it has a downtown, but this is purely where the business district is, there is nothing else there. The rest of Phoenix is an assortment of solid blocks of housing with a retail park and fast food chain on every corner, with random fields in the middle of the city.Uzique wrote:
