Seaside again, although this could really be a picture of any of dozens and dozens of communities along the coast. Seaside was built with this idea of "new urbanism", a walkable town where cars weren't supposed to be needed - but if anything I think it's just a "new suburbanism". The pastel cottages with their white trim and tin roofs are being cloned and plopped down in developments all around this area, and even elsewhere in the country (I've seen similar developments in Texas). I dunno, maybe its just cuz I'm a Texan, but I'd rather have a unique home with a BIG lot, rather than being crowded in at arm's length from a bunch of cookie cutter neighboring homes...
