Aside from suburban development being bad for the environment, bad for human health, and bad for architecture, they are deadly for street culture. Let me just ask you, are there street musicians in Cupertino, Tyson's Corner, or Highland Park? No. In order to have street musicians one must have streets (or train stations, or subways) where people walk.

One of my fondest memories of Paris was taking the Underground. The passage ways are tile and concrete and you could here the musicians long before you could see them. It was great to walk through the dirty Underground, but being serenaded by lovely music.
