    Well, there are areas where housing is older and smaller. Like for example, this is in guanzhuo in a poorer neighborhood taken earlier this year.

        I like to think it’s because I’m a good photographer, but I can’t take all the credit.

        There is something violent, disgusting, synthetic, and sickly about middle/upper middle class american neighborhoods. Lower middle/poor feels in the shadow of this beast, not quite as twisted and fake, but stressful and occasionally dangerous. By contrast to me looking at this picture there is something peaceful to it, something frank and more harmonius with natural life.

          agreed. my neighborhood has perfectly green lawns, bungalows with three cars in the garage, HOA rules means no sheds or gardens, it’s eerie and strange how awful it is. No trees, either. I hate it here, despite how privileged i am to live here.

            Ive seen those no-tree neighborhoods, absolutely the worst.
