These five things are annoying about life in the American suburbs

These five things are annoying about life in the American suburbs

1. Houses are like huts

My surroundings are a suburban clich: beautiful houses, ornate lawns, one or two American flags. But after the first two weeks of my press association in Nashville, I can say: the houses are beautiful, but they are very well built. Mostly made of wood, zero insulation. When the air conditioning is turned off, it heats up unbearably at any time. The walls may be made of grease proof paper, no matter how thin they are. You can hear everything that happens at home. When it rained heavily the other day, part of the rain came down. Doors and locks are very unstable and can be broken without significant special criminal knowledge.

Signs of patriotism like flowers are allowed, but nothing too much to please. The other day I was honest about “Trump”. Keep America First! ”- happy sign. It shows me when I have to change from one endless long, endless identical street to another endless long, endless single street.

3. You only see cars, not people

Sometimes post-apocalyptic ideas come to me while walking, for example I only forgot when the earth was ejected. Or the last survivor after an alien attack. Because you don’t see people here on the street or in front of houses. This is strange because the verandas are often lovingly designed, with angel lights, rocking chairs, and flowers. I have never seen someone last over them in just two weeks.
