79 Brutally Honest Posts About “Suburban Hell” Realtors Don’t Want You To See (New Pics)
The suburbs are often sold to us as the perfect place to live. Neatly arranged cookie-cutter houses, bright green freshly cut lawns, quiet streets. On paper, it sounds like a great and safe option. But when that sameness stretches out for miles in every direction, it stops looking charming and starts looking bleak.
We’ve rounded up some posts from the Suburban Hell subreddit that show just how depressing these places can get. Scroll down to see them and share what you think in the comments.

Because in the first pic are too much places where people could hide. And that wouldn't be fair to active shooters, would it?

Grape Walls of Ire 40 minutes ago (edited)
I used to make the argument that I'm ridiculously tall and therefore need a vehicle that size, but some manufacturers are finally starting to make normal sized cars I fit in.

South Cedar Rapids, IA.
Gingersnap In Iowa 42 minutes ago
I'm not defending this but... this area of Cedar Rapids has been developed in the past 10-15 years. It was mostly farmland before that. The area I live in has an elementary and middle school within walking distance and buses are available.

Recently a neighbor came by to ask if his son could walk through some of my property to get to, I kid you not, his grandmother's house on the other side of the woods. I of course said yes. I appreciate being asked but I couldn't help a surreptitious wink at the kid who had already been doing that.
