Suburbia

The American creation of the 20th Century has been excessively praised as the fulfillment of the American Dream and a goal for all nations to create. Simultaneously it has been accused of an almost idolatrous individualism, shelterness and a hotbed of materialism and consumerist values. To some it is the a great humanist endeavor, to others a crass commercial creation of the bourgeouis.

But are both approaches to simplistic to describe the reality and effects of suburbia?

What do you think?
