I love Birkdale! I also love all the new fake towns, outdoor malls, town centers, villages, new urbanism, whatever you want to call them!
True urban living does not always work out well for some but this way you can still live walking distance to things and not use your car as much but not be in the heart of a city.
Yep, cause they are manufactured, fake towns, LOL. But that doesn't make their appeal any less for many people who are very content w/ that arrangement.
That might not diminish its appeal for some people, but it surely diminishes its urbanity.
Yesterday, I visited Birkdale Village and thought is was nice, family shopping area. However, I noticed many real estate agents defining this area - and others like it in Charlotte - as "Urban". What is so urban? IMO these areas are essentially former rural areas, now populated by bland, mostly cheap looking/built homes, and typical retail stores. Urban suggest area's where minorities moved into after whites moved out. Urban also suggest hip, cool, cuitting edge, city.
Case in point, a few miles down the street from Birkdale village there are trailer homes - some with confederate flags.
Easy to figure out. "Sub" means before. Urban means city. Suburban means before city. So it is pretty easy to figure out tha urban means city. Glad to see that there are those still proud to be southern and flying their confederate flags.

"Sub" means "under." "Pre" means "before."
