DIE ON THIS HILL
society

Suburbs are designed to trap you in a car

This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

  • Pay, and you hold it.
  • Anyone can dethrone you for more.
  • Every claim stays on the record.

No claims on the record.

The other side

Calling it a trap writes off the deliberate choice of the family that wanted a yard, a quiet street and a mortgage they could carry. The car is what makes that arrangement work. A driveway gives a household a radius no bus map covers, on its own schedule. Transit gives a timetable. Hauling a week of groceries and two kids home by bus is the harder life.
