Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

If you don’t love it leave it
Let this song that I’m singing be a warning
When you’re running down our country man
You’re walking on the fighting side of me

To quote G Carlin:
“The reason they call it the American Dream is bc you gotta be asleep to believe it.”

Further quoting Carlin, for context:
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”.

The true powers of this country, MIC, wall st, pharma, have it set up nicely for themselves. We, the middle class, are squeezed, and fighting culture wars, rather than fiscal or domestic wars. They’ve succeeded at dividing and conquering us. Just keeping us fat enough, and satisfied enough, to realize the true enemy: DC and Wall St.
Trump is trying to showcase this, and look what’s happened to the dude.

Funny thing is that’s better living conditions than 75% or more of the global population.

A shitty cookie cutter DSLD hood is a better life than 99% of the rest of the world.

The American model of endless suburbs surrounding a metro area is getting capped by commute times and lack of available/adequate infrastructure.



The older, close-in suburbs is the sweetspot.

Landscaping with flowers, bushes and trees can do wonders. All that takes is sweat equity, and a trip to the nursery. We are a nation of individuals use your imagination and create what you want it to be.

The real problem is thinking that suburban sprawl can just continue unabated.


The real problem is nothing is being done about the primary cause of the sprawl. 13% of the population—and the worthless government programs that encourage them—cause most of this sprawl and the economic and environmental havoc that goes with it.

Right here on the first page of the OT right now is a thread about a brawl at a Mexican restaurant in Jackson. It’s the 13% in action. Don’t blame people for wanting to get away from that shite.

That quote is pretty racist unless you provide some context

So non-white people are causing the suburban sprawl?

Not sure I agree, people of all races want to live in a place where they aren't crammed in with their neighbors.

I would say the majority wouldn't prefer to live in small apartments with no yard. Nothing to do with race
