Or the people are just spontaneously dumb?
I mean, what’s the point of living in a gated community if you need to drive to places filled with poors to buy shit, or have a beer, or hook up with someone in your tax bracket, or etc?
These are places where to sleep but not to live, and they put them really fucking away from basic needs. C'mon at least just put a fucking grocery store with overpriced tomatoes
historically informed shitposting, my friend
check out the development of texas city, galveston, and las vegas - whoever has money (the mob, mostly) can do whatever they want and it's much cheaper to just carve out a square and tell a developer to make 120 identical homes than.. pay intelligent people who care about the development of community and life to make a real city.
