Lately Ive been working in these godforsaken, soul-less, mundane, pseudo-communities again, and I must say, they simply make me sick.
Anyone live in one?
Leaving aside all the cookie-cutter Mcmansions themselves, it's really amazing the things that the architects and landscapers do to make the little sectioned off "neighborhoods" seem unique. Today I was working in one where, just two weeks ago, there was a little section of woods that somehow managed to survive the initial onslaught of paving and grading the land. Had some nice hickories, a couple good sized oaks and maybe a persimmon or two if I recall correctly. Well upon returning today, the whole thing was leveled, and in place of those trees, I saw some migrant workers planting juvenile magnolias and some kind of spruce or something. WTF was wrong with the original trees? They probably sold the lumber, I dunno. Also at the front of this place there is a good size pond, probably 2 acres. In the middle they installed a big stupid fountain to spray water 24 hours a day. As if that werent stupid enough, when I got closer to it, I saw that the water was dyed blue
Retarded. I guess this appeals to people who feel that regular, clear water just isnt beautiful enough. Who are these people?
Oh, also you'v got that whole big stone sign at the front of the place that always has some name like "Willowdale" or "CedarOakParkRidgeLandValley" or some stupid crap.....then you get inside and its a bunch of stupid houses, sodded yards and zombified morning joggers. I hate them. I really do.
It really is true about the suburbs being a strange place where all the trees are chopped down and streets are named after them.
I guess I should feel fortunate though that these people would rather be sardened together in these crappy communities rather than more evenly disbursed over the rest of the planet
Any thoughts?
