How do planners design suburban developments in the US? They don't. They have it done once and use the same plan every time, just rotating it a bit.

@electriccarpet4 A) Land: Where is the difference for you between owning land and life tiem leasing it (putting aside that it is a lot easier to achiece leasign it) B) Free Speech: If you think communism prevents free speech, that's wrong. Gulags also stupid. Again, that is in the ideal theoretical form, not what people might have done in the name of it - the same as with capitalism. Theoretically poverty should not exist in ideal capitalism. Or racism.

My kindergarden was 7 minutes away. I walked home alone with 5+6 years. (just one street to cross, mostly go around a school area) My school, you might guess, was about 15 seconds if I ran and the street was free ;)

@electriccarpet4 The thing is that all examples of "communism" people generally think of are not examples of Communism, often nto even of Socialism, but simply autocrats/dictatorships under this one guise (there are many "capitalist" dictatorships too). Jesus lived in a communism based group, but nobody talks about that for example ;) Cuba is also such an dictatorship example and Venezuela is imho an example of the Resource Course (as is e.g. Nigeria on the capitalist-democratic side for decades, and I don't have much hope for the current slight trend to the better). Putting that aise, as nothing close to real communism has never existed on a big scale, nobody can really say what it would look like. The most likely "ideological ideal" for your dog example would be that it is a nature preserve and you watch over it ;) The main point being thought that as a communist personality you would see for yourself that one person cannot have that much land for his dog alone and would not even ask for it, for the good of everyone. And since I don't believe you could ever have the vast majority being that way, that is the main reason why grand scale communism will never exist imho. btw. When the government decides that stuff because the people are still not that far deveoped on individual scale and need to be educated - that is the stage of Socialism. A necessary prerequisit to communism where the state makes (and forces, if needed) people act correctly. (Ideologically speaking again) But that is really way to much for youtube comments ;)

At least in the US every suburban house block looks different! That is, the mail post - if the HOA allows it.

I think what is often forgotten about this "bleack uniform" buildings is that e.g. in East Germany in the 70s, it was where everyone wanted to live in, because the alternatives were worse. Your own toilet! for example instead of a shared one on the half stair (or the little houes with the heart in the yard).
