On the one hand, I guess it’s a more efficient packing of people into urban areas than having large green spaces. On the other hand, it’s fucking depressing, and I think kids miss something in childhood without psuedo wild spaces to go explore alone.
I grew up in a Soviet apartment bloc, and I did way more exploring outside than kids living in suburbia could ever hope to. For one, it was completely safe to let kids go out and play on their own. There were always green spaces and playgrounds between a few apartment buildings, and you’d go and play there.
Now that everyone buys everything off Amazon, even inside houses I am noticing people are owning a lot of the same first-that-came-up-in-a-search items.

USA
We are not the same
Canada does this too
We do it in Europe too, but maybe for 10-20 houses. Not 200
Australia definitely does this. Developers will just build an entire town with houses that all look something like this (except its a maze that’s unreasonably difficult to navigate) 0 public transport and something like 1 road in and out that everyone needs to drive through to get to there job everyday.
Nah man, you don’t understand, i have the LIFTED f-150… dale has the reular f-150
Hey my house has the door on the left in my block! And its cyan! Not like the others with their flat ugly blue doors!
Let’s see what the HOA has to say about that!
They look like the houses in a housing development in the United States.
…That’s exactly what they are. Are you not getting the joke or am I not getting yours?
Dont drag europe into this
You know you’re almost home when you look down from the plane and see a patchwork of fields and houses with barely a straight line in sight
I crossed my eyes, but I don’t see the picture.
It’s a svastica
