I don't know what they're like in Aussie Land. Here, in CA (L.A., specifically), the suburbs are kind of entwined with city/industry; there is no country unless you drive out of your way to find it. Residences neighbor markets, schools neighbor shopping squares, and my local downtown area - which is fairly quaint - shares a couple of blocks with medical buildings. Definitely convenient, and definitely packed together.
But pop culture seems to paint a scene of stretches of dull, cookie cutter homes and a caricature of 9 -5 life where everybody knows everybody - and their business. The truth is, many communities here are pretty devoid of community, and nobody knows anything about anyone outside of Facebook.
Ah, that makes some sense. Cheers, brother. Our suburbs vary but they sound like they still have a little more life than the American equivalent you've described.
