They seem to love the cookie cutter houses chain restaurants and expensive unsustainable living that typifies the American suburb.
I posted a cookie cutter suburban house one time saying it looks like dog shit and bunch of chuds were like “What a beautiful house”.
Spoiled upper middle class women and chuds just seem to venerate suburban sprawl.
Why?
I don’t care about the suburbs, but regrettably, I’m also house-pilled. I can’t help but one a detached home with a little room. I’ve been living in apartments on my own for two decades and I’ve been exposed to so many slumlords and bad neighbors that I just want to be free from it all. I can’t even open my windows to enjoy the weather right now because my neighbor beneath me smokes like a chimney on his balcony and it all flows up into my apartment and makes the entire place smell like cigarettes for days. My current next door neighbor is the 3am-party-on-a-weeknight type. Also, I want room for my hobbies.
Depending on your hobbies, it may be a good idea to see if you have a good makerspace nearby. Joining one allowed me to save a lot of space and money, while gaining unfettered access to tools that I am not at all qualified to use.
Makerspaces can be really cool. Living in an apartment but having access to a 4’ bed laser cutter and a 6 axis cnc mill and welding equipment and a forge etc. was really cool.
Going through old pamphlets and webpages on archive.org for a youth ML org there where campaigns for “autonomous spaces” in addition to the usual amenities for young people. Somewhere free of commercial, religious, ideological influences etc.
This was before the great recession with the neverending struggle against austerity and it’s consequences. But solving the problems of “third place” in creating a rich tapestry of welcoming environments outside the home could cool down the individualism and demonstrate some sort of an actually viable future. It will also backfire for a number of people too and drive them further into being “house pilled”.
Worse is “family pilled” where nothing outside the family is permitted and there are no school/scouts/sports for them to escape to because of the blind eye their parents turned to the abuses of power that can be found anywhere. This lead the dream being some ornamental pastoral neo-peasant lifestyle where your kids are less socially adjusted then the amish and never get to become their own people and of course a massive ecological footprint and dependency on cheap diesel.
you american?
Nope. Thank fuck.
hell yeah
Vibes. I’m a total hobbyist and would love to live in a place with enough space for a small garden and space enough between neighbors to limit noise issues. Granted, there’s a big difference between a dense suburb and the newer ones located in the sticks with cookie cutter McMansions.
Yeah that’s true. I’m always at odds with myself. I want high density, but I also want space. I’d love to do a garden as well, but my hobbies basically require a garage or at minimum a dedicated room.
