currently I'm staying in a part of Austin that is rapidly being developed, so it has a weird mismash of architecture and building sizes that makes it feel like a fake city from a video game. like in GTA where everything is compressed so you can walk 5 minutes and suddenly you're in a totally different district
also most of everything looks super generic, which doesn't help matters
@joe_no_body I remember that vibe from Maryland, as the suburbs exploded in response to the massive price spike due to population influx to DC.
So much "if you build it, they will come" new-houses-in-an-obvious-cow-pasture. It was subtly off-putting in a way I couldn't define.
