Not every suburb is a “stucco box” either. the suburbs of Boston like Brookline MA are gorgeous tree lined, quaint, with character, every home different. And I’m sure NYC (Westchester Co.), Chicago (Evanston) and DC too. Much of Seattle too.
Southern Cal, the southwest, and much of the sunbelt (TX, FL, etc…) the suburbs are just so hard on the eyes and senses. Just oceans of tan stucco boxes, fast food chains and boxy strip centers. SUV car culture and you never see people waking on the sidewalks, etc… Totally generic. No uniqueness, no character.
I was driving up the 15 to Corona yesterday and I think Riverside Co. is THE poster child for GENERIC! You could be anywhere, Dallas, Phoenix, Vegas…it all looks the same! Bland!
