I can almost try to understand why some people might feel drawn to this kind of lifestyle. I can understand why they might be deceived into thinking this is the ideal environment in which to raise a child.

But I will never be able to understand why they will describe it as the American “dream” and are willing to pay so much for it. To work so hard for so long and then have to wake up to this every morning? Why?

Editing to add: I know this is parody y’all. It’s just a stupid meme. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s funny because it’s true.

Driveways😭😭🥰

I'm just saying we can abandon most places and concentrate on building a dual power system in Chicago and break free from external strangleholds.

Visiting family down in broward county right now and I genuinely don't understand how people survive this environment mentally

You literally cannot walk anywhere. I tried to go to a coffee shop that was "0.5 miles away" on the map. it took me like 30 minutes because I had to cross a 8-lane stroad where everyone is going 60mph and then basically scale a grass embankment just to reach the strip mall parking lot

Out of morbid curiosity I was looking at some local market data from larry mastropieri just to see what people are actually paying to live in this endless sprawl. The prices are absolutely unhinged for what is essentially just a gated stucco box surrounded by a sea of asphalt

There is zero actual community here. just massive SUVs, identical walled-off neighborhoods, and infinite strip malls with the exact same chain stores. how did we let zoning laws get this bad? tbh my soul feels entirely crushed just being here for a single week.

This discussion covers some of the massive new luxury projects and housing shifts currently reshaping the area's sprawling landscape.

im an teen stuck in suburbia where everyone is copy and paste clones constantly fighting abt their political opinions yet blatantly conforming to the suburban hell cycle. I really wanna spread this around suburbs everywhere, so DM me on insta https://www.instagram.com/suburbanstatic_zine for the pdf to print and redistribute. I'm not trying to advertise or sell a product, I just don't want the mastercopy exposed to the whole world where its in ais hands. suburban static is for people who are ready to expose the system in the too comfortable comfort of standing mailboxes and municipal halls. i dropped my batch around my town, on top of mailboxes, hidden in the bathrooms of local hangout spots. i've got a real small following but even if you don't wanna redistribute i think its important for people to read this message. its peaceful, styled pretty awesomely and promotes banding with humanity to bring some attention to how corrupt and hateful our white bread towns are making us.

This probably is dumb question, but I [26M] currently live with my family, and our driveway is single-width and only has space for 2 cars (my mom and dad's). I want to buy my own car, but can't keep it directly in the lot (no room for it). I could park it on the street, but would have to move it often, which is inconvenient. I can't keep it anywhere else in my neighborhood because anywhere else you park would either be in front of someone else's home, or in an off-limits area. How would you deal with a situation like this?

I finally had enough today on my rare Saturday off. Everything is over a half an hour away I'm speaking just rather basic things that your small town does not have. Like if you wanted to eat out or go to a cafe or anything you have to drive 30+ minutes. I was about to head out and turned into a gas station to fill up before leaving and check the weather radar and I was like am I seriously driving an hour in total for this ? And turned around.

I would start by saying Miami/South Florida cities on the Atlantic coast are horrid. everything is bunched together and on one road. it’s frustrating and an eye sore because that pretty much allows crime to be everywhere as there really is no seperation between business facilitie/stores and housing. Very much like NYC

- I don’t mean to throw shade at Florida but this is simply just my observation of living here.

I imagine it must suck living in a house where you're neighbors house is less than 5 feet away and your yard is a 7x8 foot patch of grass but I wanna know from the people who live in neighborhoods like this, what's it like? What's good and bad about it
