Suburbs are a calculated kind of death, yes. Alienated, compartmentalized; all space is individual, no freedom to roam (unless you want to do crimes abd wander all night to stay away from school and dance with thoughts of running away, and even then fences are annoying). Difficult to navigate cleanly. Everything's so individuated so there's never a theme or flow to anything. Trees that are too big get cut down. No space to do or be. No life.

Fuck them so hard.

You get more nature in a city and more nourishing human contact in the deep woods.

And then there are small towns. Plenty of nature, minimal public infrastructure, but everyone around you is either slowly dying or slowly killing themselves.
