This subdivision at Pacheco Road and Gosford Road in Bakersfield, California might be the worst designed I have ever seen.
Minuses
- Just three main access streets, including no northern street and three smaller arterial streets that get you onto Ashe Road.
- Cul-de-sacs galore!
Pluses
- Two parks: Silver Creek Park and Wilderness Park (the latter sounding super ironic)
- Something that looks like a neighborhood center next to Silver Creek Park.
- Not many personal pools.
This place doesn’t look too desirable. If you want a crash course in designing a quintessential suburb, please study this…
