LIVING BEHIND THE GARAGE DOOR

Urban sprawl, also known as suburban sprawl, the spreading outwards of a city and its suburbs to its outskirts to low-density, auto-dependent development on rural land, with associated design features that encourage car dependency; LIVING BEHIND THE GARAGE DOOR.

Just comments on urban Sprawl:

Residents of sprawling neighborhoods tend to emit more pollution per person and suffer more traffic fatalities.(drive everywhere)

Sprawl is also linked with increased obesity since walking and bicycling are not viable commuting options.(car, garage, car, garage)

Urban sprawl may be partly responsible for the decline in social interaction in the United States. Compact neighborhoods can foster casual social interactions among neighbors and local store owners, while sprawl creates barriers. Sprawl tends to replace public spaces with private spaces such as fenced-in backyards.(drive though the gate, into the garage)
