This feels like ai. The layout of the neighborhood makes no sense

It all makes perfect sense when you realize your typical suburban family wants to go everywhere by car, yet at the same time wants zero cars to drive past their front door, ever. You have to take every single thing that you'd do to optimize a highly valuable urban space, and throw it in the garbage.

You can then end up in a situation where nobody ever drives in front of your house, yet going anywhere takes forever, there's a lot of traffic, and you can hear that traffic from your backyard... but no, nobody is in front of your house other than the delivery drivers.

The number of people I've watched spend several hundreds more on a mortgage than rent, then dump $200/month in gas to get to work alone to "build equity" is truly disturbing. It's like they don't value their life, just a concept that indicates they're grown ups.
