My biggest strife against new suburbs is the lack of commercial within the residential areas in favour of "Smart" Centres. Orleans north of Innes, mostly built from the 60s up to the mid-90s has good access to decent strip malls that are not completely hostile to pedestrians. After that, it was all big box stores in giant parking lots on Innes, with no consideration for pedestrians or cyclists.
City always talks big on 15 minute neighbourhoods, but hasn't built a new one since the 90s.
