It's the worst of both worlds. Simultaneously I'm isolated from the city and have to drive to do absolutely anything, all of the people here are racist entitled assholes. Simultaneously its not isolated enough like a small town so theres no way to organize any independence or feel safe from troubles in said city, or to have any sense of community. There's Simultaneously too many people and too little people, too much space and too little space.

There's a quote attributed to William Levitt, a guy who is also credited as "the father of American suburbia", that goes like this: "No man who owns his own house and lot can be a communist. He has too much to do."

Here is a source I could find on the quote: https://time.com/archive/6598189/suburban-legend-william-levitt/

(though warning, from what I skimmed of it, it seems to be one of those overly flattering bourgeoisie portrayals)
