MOUNT PLEASANT — Most people who don't like America's suburbs have a long and legitimate list of complaints.
These gripes include: Many buildings waste land; they're too homogenous; they're solely car-oriented; and they simply look cheap.
But now that many cities and towns have some architectural review process that scrutinizes new development — at least significant buildings on major highways — things are beginning to change.
It's not that new suburban development is looking urban like downtown Charleston, but it is beginning to address, with success, some of the gripes.
