Suburban sprawl rules, if you don’t want to live in the suburbs you’re probably insane. It is simply the most comfortable place you can live. Living any other way just seems… incorrect to me. Saying you like living anywhere but the suburbs is like saying you like cutting yourself and then taking piping hot Tabasco sauce baths. There’s noise and congestion and crime in cities, and in the country there’s loving nothing but teetotaling, snake-handling neighbors who live 25 miles away and don’t want to talk to you anyway. I don’t care if it’s morally wrong, the suburbs loving rock and I hope someday that all land not reserved for natural parks is made into suburbs.

I don’t even like suburbs, I just hate the city and the country that goddamn much.

i love driving half a mile in my F150, 7 feet above the ground, to the entrance to the subdivision so i can get my mail. sometimes there's coupons for buffalo wild wings in there, sometimes they're for romano's macaroni grill. those are the only restaurants but i heard we're getting a chipotle when they clearcut the forest to put in that new strip mall off route 6

Yeah the article I saw said they have been offered like 50 million to sell and refuse. Honestly if the whole area was once like livestock or farmland or something I can almost see how that place makes sense, OTHER than how it should totally be a little cute forest instead of a goddamn lawn

Also as someone who grew up in what many people describe as a suburb without a city, not that I knew what that meant until my 20s, I have to say I do love suburbs. I do not aspire for them to be the default though

We had a spite house on the north end of Edmonton for many years until the owner died and his kids sold the property. The place was originally agriculture and he fought with the city for years until they just built around him and took the actual farmland away through eminent domain.

We also have a spite house here in the industrial area but it's just a small house cloistered amongst light industrial. I guess he bought the home in like '75 just before it got re-zoned and he fought to keep it and it's been this little house with attached garage in the middle of bleak industrial buildings.

Our local spite property came about because the other of a big agricultural plot wanted to get it rezoned residential but all the neighbors blocked it because they liked having open land behind them. So the guy started a hog farm

More, but this is like the worst? You could put six buildings like the one I live in (4 floors x 3 apartments x 4 entrances) just in the area taken up by the stupid loving driveway.



There's parking underground, the ground floor apartments have a back yard, and there's still some common public space between the buildings for the children or to walk your dog or something. This is enough for about 290 families. Instead it's... grass?

Seems plausible, I've no idea what the background story is there. In any case the outcome doesn't seem ideal. A forest (a publicly accessible one) at least would be definitely nicer.

lmao. There's an old barn near where my parents live and they wanted to redevelop in into some sort of small commercial property but the other neighbors blocked it so it's just sitting there and falling apart.

The real cursed thing is those shitbox houses jammed into the space like literal sardines, in a country that is the sixth largest in the world.

And yeah, that looks like an old farm or ranch house that's been modernized, and was there first. It's a similar scenario that keeps happening in the UK in green belt areas.

Living in the country slaps dude. You can go outside to pee whenever you feel like it, shoot varmints at all hours of the night, find woods porn, ride your bike for miles without fear of getting hit by a car, and growing up with your best friend that you eventually punch in the chops at a party in 8th grade.

Yeah but you can do all that in the suburbs and not be an inbred with a fourth grade education. Also, there’s no dry laws, and people here rarely shoot you for pulling into their driveway.

Also, there is no experience more thrilling than playing in a suburban construction site as a 9 year old. Nobody died but a kid I knew got stuck up to the waist in mud one time, also people needed tetanus shots after stepping on nails and new shoes after the mud ate them. Probably inhaled a bunch of carcinogens that I’ll be able to sue for when I’m 60. Another reason suburbs are awesome.

A house way down the street has a flag pole, cue gently caress BIDEN, LETS GO BRANDON, TRUMP 2024!!! etc, etc.

Today they had a 420!!! Flag that was covered in pot leaves. Like it's goofy, and I'm probably being stupid, but I was like "ohhh gently caress no, you don't get that day, dickhead" is this wrong-think? Are those people allowed to enjoy 4/20?

from the size of his truck, and his four-wheelers, I'm sure he's probably well armed, otherwise something might happen to his stupid flag.

e- his dog is pretty cool and nice and likes pets over the fence.

this is from a ways back....but that flag is nothing that a syrup filled water ballon to the door and siding cant fix. Im not saying you should do this...im just heavily implying it.
