American suburbias kind of fuck me up tbh. Like what do you mean it's just houses. What about stores. Pharmacies. School, kindergartens. What do you mean it's just houses. Playgrounds????? Alleyways with greenery and benches????? What about them????
#dar.txt#idk i think im probably talking primarily white middle and upper class suburbias with this one#but still#reading about taylor reminiscing about different towns and cities reminded me of how much i dont understand american cities#and youd think its just because you cant understand that shit through media! but! its just america!#japan korea thailand and china (the countries whos dramas/media ive been watching a lot) i understand to a degree#partly india and africa too (cannot tell you which country in africa exactly because i only watched a couple shorts of a youtuber. though#that was enough to grasp a very basic understanding)#american cities and towns though????? mystery.#idk it just. most of the time in media american places just dont seem like. real. like places where actually live#oh and like. european countries i understand to a point too. obv not entirely that goes for All of them. but nothing compares to the#confusion american cityplanning invokes in me
