When you pay rent to your landlord and are exploited by your job to afford it… that is the community everyone thinks is so great.

Dont worry about getting to know your neighbors. Rents going up end of your lease and you have to move yet again to find someplace you can afford. No point. But hey, the houses of the neighbors you never met increased in value. Thank you for your community service.

We never were civilized. At least we stopped pretending.
