Why do they all look the same? American-style suburbs completely lack character.
Not sure, but it might be military housing or small homes for the previously unhoused. I've never seen suburbs look quite this scant and homogenous.
Suburbs with cookie-cutter houses where everything looks eerily identical are everywhere around here in the south – or at least my part of it. Mostly in newer developments. They're so ugly, and I have to see them any time I'm on the road unless I'm in an urban area.
The worst part is the people who live in those places (mostly white flight descendants) are always the ones who complain about housing projects and get zoning reforms & mixed-use building plans shut down because efficient land/property use looks "ugly" to them, and they think it's bad for property value or something. Like fuck off, you literally live in the neighborhood from The Lorax, your opinion on what acceptable housing is is worthless.
Lol, I wish they'd stop interfering. We desperately need more types of housing and infrastructure. Even tiny homes are better than what a lot of people have to deal with.
