An aerial shot is not the view people have when living in this type of suburb. Also it looks like these are fairly new and haven't had time for old growth gardens and trees yet.
I prefer not to live in a suburb, since I love being in the city. Not all suburbs in the US look like this, same in Canada.
The reason people choose to live here has been mentioned. Affordability, and SPACE ! If you have 3 kids and are an average income earner, your outlook is different.

One of those shots is from Las Vegas, it probably won't ever have gardens or much trees.
Versus what; living in small apartments stacked on top of each other, where you can hear the lives of your neighbors? Reside in these apartments in areas where the price is much, much higher?
You want to tlak about being nosy, in apartment living, a perosn cannot help but be nosy into their neighbors' business as everything down to the microwave beeping is heard by everyone. Not all buildings, but sure as f**k enough of them to be a major annoyance of living in any apartment.
I would not live in such neighborhoods as in the pics, but I am not complaining about them either. Also, they are not even close to being composed of people under one political umbrella.
To all americans... This is not good!!!! The houses are too much apart from each other.. You need to build them much closer to each other, like this from Stavanger city, Norway
Yeah, they're nice. Characterful, some colour and they're not all identical.
Having different color roofs does not make them NOT identical. LOL.
The layout and structure of all those houses are exactly the same and no different from the US except the color roofs and not being lined up exactly in a grid-like structure as it is in the US (we Americans love our grid-like set up i, LOL), but nonetheless no more interesting or characterful.
