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

      It's also the same in Las Vegas and Phoenix, just sprawled out over hundreds of square miles with a "downtown" that is like 2x1 miles.

        yeah tbh it's probably everywhere actually where development is still going on. I can think of quite a few places more inland in California that have become almost exactly that as well. Pretty much everything east of the bay area, Sacramento or all up and down past costal towns that isn't just farmland is becoming that. All just like 1 of 3 types of houses, all still looking mostly the same.

            yeah it reminds me of like how horror-type movies portray the perfect WASPy neighborhood where everyone knows everyone everything is just gossiped about, but so long as you're a Good Christian™️ you don't have to worry about the kids locked up in your basement or some shit

              I honestly did feel safer back in the hood. I knew I could have a beer in my back yard and not have to worry about someone reporting me to the home owners association for something unrelated.
