A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

My dawg, this is epic, I lived it. Granted, I haven't kept up with those people for years, but they were my homies when I was a very young kid
I would kill to have my squad in close proximity like this. My friend group has been together since middle school, it would be a blast
It looks like a hell to me. No fences for the dogs and other pets. No hegges for privacy Big grass a lit of work at least once a onth.
An 'enfer c'est les autres' kinda place.
I was thinking more like a compound with out buildings, sheds and plants other than just fucking grass.
I want a place like this but I get a bunch of weird artists who visit and camp out for a while and I make them pancakes and they help me do chores.
My inspiration is Mattersville

I don't live with my friends for a reason.
I'll never understand why US suburbs like to utterly nuke any kind of nature around their houses and replace it with "lawns". Like, I'd rip that stuff out and at least plant some potats and shit immediately.
Pest control might be part of it.
Pests, like birds, butterflies, bees...
I once had a distant relative react to a worried conversation about the extreme reduction of insects in nature with "but that's great! Way less moscitos, and a clean windshield!".
I swear to all higher beings, I never wanted to punch a stupid person more than in that moment.
My British friend says that Americans don't have lawns. They have grassed in areas.
In a neighborhood like that, you'd probably end up with a fine and they'd charge you to 'fix' it for you.

I would be so excited to be able to own a home and have 6 other friends.

This looks like hell
Why would you want a house like that. They are all the same characterless houses

Suburbia may be a good place to shelter toddlers, but as soon as a child is more than about 6 years old, being trapped in a mcmansion on the edge of town seriously inhibits their growth and independence. They might be able to walk to a friend's house, if they're lucky enough to live somewhere with a sidewalk, but they're unlikely to be able to walk to school, or anywhere else for that matter. ...
... And it's more than just school, too. Kids have lots of sports and other activities, so [in better urbanist places] it's very common to see children walking or cycling while dressed in football gear (not [American] football) or hockey gear (not [ice] hockey), because they travel to all these activities by themselves.
In the US and Canada you have the stereotype of the suburban 'soccer mum', the mother who spends all of her time shuttling her kids around from school to activities to playdates and back. Because until a kid is about 16 years old and has their own driver's licence, they need to be driven around everywhere by their parents. And this is considered 'normal'.

Me and the wife befriended the neighbours during lockdown. Hung out all the time, went on several holidays together.
Still pals, was round at one of theirs for dinner the other day.
Lived even closer than this for years. Didn’t get old. Miss it. But had to move on from the communal garden space for the kids.
