Well, you may dislike it, but it is hardly obsolete.
Serious quesiton though - Do you not feel that you are contributing to the poor design of suburban areas by living there? I agree that they are not logically thought out, but developers are pretty much giving the people what they want: quiet cul-de-sacs to live in. Even if there is only one way in or out, or if people are stupid enough to actually want to live in the flood plain below Cranston.
Given the space we have, sprawl will always be a problem, and consequently, the car will always be the best way to get anywhere. Though yes, better management of it would be nice.
