Suburban/Rural hybrid towns that boomed in the 21st Century but are never depicted in media. Sometimes referred to as the Exurbs. Movies pretend these places don’t exist because filming here would depress the director. A type of town that looks rural from a plane but looks suburban-inspired up close, like a suburb that gave up half-way. The final boss of car-dependent city planning. Nothing is walkable or connected. Everything is near everything, yet unreachable without a car. Too many fields, overgrown ditches, empty lots, & dying buildings to be suburban — but too many gas stations, big intersections, chain stores, & commercial strips to be rural. The Final Boss of car-dependent sprawl where you get the traffic of a major city without the jobs, walkability, basic amenities, nightlife, or human interaction. You have plenty of neighbors but you'll never meet them. A great place to live if you hate people & love driving in heavy traffic. A worse place to live than Norilsk if you wish to date or have a social life.
