Me too, I want to say I'm part of the minority. I guess the worst thing would be that some ARE very cookie cutter houses in a way that there are like thousands of houses and there all have the same design but just 2 or three different colors and patterns...and that they are way far from the main town.
But I like the suburbs. I guess Europeans are just a bunch of party poopers who prefer old dusty museums, old beat up gritty houses and buildings, to things that are fresh, new and exciting. Europeans are a bunch of old farts.
I really like The Australian suburbs and that is one of the reasons why I would want to live in Australia. If I lived in a suburb like that and not too far from the beach, my life would be complete.
but it's still gray, though it looks good gray. Hopefully you can open the windows, if you're fine without any climate control.
Unusual design, but it's quite compact. More expensive to build than a plain cubic building, but probably as much if not more efficient. I was more thinking of elements that stick out of the building and are quite widespread in traditional houses, like dormers.

Not sure where this comment comes from, I don't seen anything upthread referring to how Europeans overall view suburbs. Anyway Europeans, are like others, there are some that wouldn't be caught dead living outside the city limits and others who wouldn't want to live anywhere but in a stand-alone house with yard and BBQ. In the urban planning subforum, there are a lot of Americans that seem to dislike suburbs. They have their reasons, as you have yours to like them.
As for me, disregarding issues other than built form, I like the leafy, full of character low density urban districts of Midwestern and Eastern USA. Ironically, a lot of suburbs out West are higher density.
I chose to overlook that comment rather than respond to it.. I actually found it humourous rather than annoying.
Anyway..
British cities by population density:
Spoiler
Manchester
Birmingham
Glasgow
Liverpool
Leeds
Sheffield
Newcastle
Edinburgh
