There's something deeply unsettling about American suburbs, rows of identical houses, and not a human being in sight, no noises, just this artifical maze, my Uber took a detour though one once and I looked up from my phone and saw that I didn't realize where I am and it all looked so identical it was disorienting and I freaked out a bit, had to open Google maps to realize where I was. The movie Vivarium captures this feeling well. Why don't y'all get out and go for a walk and talk to your neighbors.
Most places don't actually look like this. You see stuff like this when a single developer buys up a bunch of land and stamps down a bunch of houses with the same 2-3 layouts. It's pretty shitty and I'd eager most people don't actually like it.
Most suburbs here are much more heterogenous as the houses are added incrementally over time.
