because suburban development tried to deviate from traditional dense cities as much as possible when the original suburbs trend exploded

Rich people?

That's everywhere within half an hour of here, and we're not rich.

Suburban design isn't like urban design. Since they're not regulated and closely monitored the way urban designers are, suburban designers have the freedom to be complete fucking idiots.

it pisses me off.

while in lynn (at night at least when there aren't 12000 cars and faggots in the streets) i can just floor it and not worry about making any turns.

when i was in nahant i was like OH SHIT A TURN OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK DEAD END.

For the most part, the city is just a straight road, but then I got to the end, took a right and got lost.

Our streets are named after fruits and numbers. But there was once this street that was named "Forget-Me-Not Road".

It was so cute. :3
