I have seen hell

deemoyza...and it is suburbia.
I had an interview with a place inside one of the newer "master-planned communities" around here and it was a miserable area to navigate. Twisting roads that went this way and that and arbitrarily changed names, all lined with the same small variety of little houses stuck so close together that they might as well be apartments.
*Shudder*
It took me half an hour to find my destination once I entered the neighborhood, and fifteen minutes to find the road back to civilization on my way out, the city skyline beckoning but unreachable.
I have glimpsed the dreary domestic ideal for far too many people, and while it may work for them (I can't image how), I, for one, may never recover.
