    It’s like when you drive through an area that’s all McMansions you’re like “how they hell are there this many people with enough money and poor enough taste to own all these McMansions”? I guess the thing is that money people property sprawls out, whereas most of us live in a container city down a hole clustered around a sewer outlet so thousands don’t take up that much space.

      I have the same experience driving around the Philly suburbs (mostly west and southwest of the city proper). Like, what the fuck do all these people do that they can afford these places?

        Big money houses can’t be seen from the public streets. I imagine the McMansion suburbs are just people who have worked themselves up and always dreamt of a big flashy house, but aren’t really major capitalists in the classic sense.
