The Voice of Labor posted:in seriousness, do suburbs exist outside of america? they do they just call them villages in europe. like hot fuzz is basically a suburb they just dont have the room to build it 100 miles away from anything fun. and ive been to plenty of "villages" that were basically suburbs in germany the one time i went.

snergle posted:they do they just call them villages in europe. In the UK, everything not a city is I think within the American definition of a suburb. You're never more than like 1.5hrs from the nearest city (*city may technically be a town) unless you're in really isolated bits of Scotland. The idea of living a first world lifestyle but genuinely a day's travel from basic medicine and public utilities and """"law"""" is one of those woahhh cool revelations and also a bit terrifying.

I feel safe and comfortable because every single business within a 5 mile radius is a national chain in a power center. I am never challenged or forced to try new things.

I constantly see the same car driving past my house. Every Monday through Friday they do a driveby twice a day, on mornings they go one direction and in the afternoons they go another direction. Is my house being cased? Should I tell the cops someone's stalking me? ...What do you mean it's just some guy going to and from work!?

Covers my car in Punisher Cop symbols, never gets my tires slashed because I have signs that say "smile, you're on camera!" and "trespassers will be shot" and no one wants to risk calling my bluff. Convinces myself my 10-year-old tires got slashed anyway and didn't just fall apart from overuse.

It begins quiet and in the distance, like a languid breeze. The hum of the first lawnmower. Maybe it will be a one off and pass before anyone else notices. The moment hangs like a held breath. Another lawnmower starts. We know it has began in earnest now. Another one roars closer. Now five. Now eight. Put on the cargo shorts and cut off t-shirt. It has been decreed the lawns will be mowed.

You guys know everybody grows weed in the suburbs, right? It’s one of the advantages of having a greedy mortgage instead of a greedy landlord.

Look some people want sidewalks some people don't I think we can meet in the middle by making a few sidewalks, but just ones that start and end randomly and don't go past anything or anywhere people would actually want to walk. This sound good to everyone?

UGH, Halloween again and the little shits will go apeshit if they can't get out for "trick-or-treating". Can you believe they want me to not only wear a costume, but walk through the neighborhoods with them? Screw that, if I'm forced to with them, I'm just going to tail them in my Cadillac SUV and watch Ellen. Oh. My. God. Look at the traffic in this neighborhood. Not only are the runts going every which way, there's a bunch of weirdos cruising around behind kids and not paying the slightest attention to the road. One dumbshit almost rear-ended me. poo poo, Tamsyn's already moved way down the block... you'd think if she's gonna make me chaperone she'd come hop back in the car like a sane human being so we can roll a few hundred feet in comfort. She's ten now, but still has a lot of growing up to do... poo poo poo poo poo poo DID I JUST HIT A GHOST? I can only see the body through the front-facing camera, stupid tike didn't even come halfway up my grill. What the gently caress was that kid doing in front of my car? Why didn't this $90,000 piece of poo poo not see the obstacle and automatically brake? God, some bitch just hopped down out of her truck wailing. What the gently caress did I do to deserve this to happen to me??

Hey neighbor, you uh... you gonna trim those bushes up a bit? I was walking the dog the other day and noticed you're looking a bit shaggy there. Don't want people to think there's a vacant property here or anything, you know? My son, the cop, he says the city's going to start putting out $50 fines for houses that look bad. Not that I'm saying anything! But you know, I assume you'd want to avoid that fine.

Where are your Christmas lights, neighbor? Oh, it's just that, you know... we kind of got a reputation as a big Christmas neighborhood! Lots of lights, plus you know how Shelly's got her inflatables going. You're what? Oh. Oh, never met one of you before. Haha. But uh... you can still put lights up, right? I mean, the kids love it. And it's kind of boring if you're the only house without a bunch of lights up.
