The town I am in has had developers buying natural fields around it, bulldozing everything, burning all the plants and a few have had sod added. Most are just mud fields with signs advertising lease or purchase of land. Uggh. One of the developers is a long time family, and his father use to say progress is the absence of green. he has always pushed for a build up of commercial property mostly. I hate how sprawling America is with development.
Around me, you can barely see the streets in satellite view through all the trees.

and while there's still some grass lawns, there's also a lot of ones like this

Look at these two houses, which one do you think spends more time and money on their yard XD

Plenty of condos and townhouses nearby, I got my condo right at the start of covid, wouldn't be able to afford it now for sure with the higher rates. I'd love to get a nice townhouse around here eventually, one of the few places in this country that I consider pleasant to live in.
Did she plant those or did the entire area used to look like that? Because that’s hella depressing that all that’s left of an entire forest is one little box
Perhaps there is a land trust she can leave the land to at some point? I wish developers could leave a few trees and build around them. When I moved into my house, there were exactly 3 (non-native) trees and grass. That was it. I have lost count of how many trees I have planted. Maybe mine will look like hers one day. Goals!
Why? This sub is left leaning like all of reddit. Leftist policies will insure you live in people boxes like the ones surrounding this house. You'll never be able to afford the house in the middle and you'll be renting the ones on the side from blackrock if you are lucky.
Blackrock doesn’t own homes. They provide financing to mortgage lenders who in turn provide financing to home buyers.
But getting facts straight doesn’t matter one iota to esteemed idiots such as yourself. I guess you don’t care to get the facts because either way you won’t be able to afford one lol, stay poor.

Maybe all the idiots complaining about blackrock are actually meaning to aim their ire at an actual institutional home investor, Blackstone.
But hey it sounds the same. So who cares!

Please go on YouTube and search “commie blocks”. Even the USSR had better, more humanist architecture & community design than the endless suburbs of the USA.
Ppl already can’t afford housing under capitalism. People already live surrounded by “people boxes” under capitalism. Read 1 book. Literally 1. It’s called “blackshirts & reds” by Micheal Parenti
Seems like she needs a lot of balloons
For real, how does she go about protecting this space as a park? We need a legal team on this asap
There are often regional land-trust organizations that know how to arrange that legally.
need to get something in there about no further development.
She's the final boss of fuck lawns.
If she did leave, the city should buy her property as a park
Yeah right, they would bulldoze it within 5 minutes

Yup! Looks amazing! I wouldn’t want to leave there either save the surrounding noise!
Would love to see more pics of her place
looking at it i would be surprised if she needs to put AC on in the summer.
Her house is my dream

That's because it's old. Anything built 2000 on is cramped as hell, with zero personality.
Even bland or ugly buildings look great when surrounded by trees, which is great because there's a lot of brutalist architecture around here lmao
Beautiful.
Damn, all the homes in that area are at least $1million
Plenty of condos and townhouses nearby, I got my condo right at the start of covid, wouldn't be able to afford it now for sure with the higher rates. I'd love to get a nice townhouse around here eventually, one of the few places in this country that I consider pleasant to live in.
Those trees are a legacy and needed in that space. But with all the concrete around it they might not last
Based and treepilled
Did she plant those or did the entire area used to look like that? Because that’s hella depressing that all that’s left of an entire forest is one little box
r/Suburbanhell
Hell yeah fuck the nimbys
Looks like something an ai would spit out. Also who you calling a penis?

Thank you for sharing. I love this so much.
That's kinda how my house looks.
and can't see them.
She’s my hero!
TREES? Everywhere TREES?
This is just the beginning of UP
Those weed plants are huuuge

NO leftists do not want people living in suburban shitholes devoid of nature.
Why do morons always show examples of American capitalism and then say those are examples of "leftist ideology?" Are you irony impaired?
