When I was a kid/teen (only 10-15 years ago which is nuts) all the roads looked like this. Then the (((housing developers))) got a hold of the land, rezoned all the flood plains into urban residential, and drew up tin can sized plots. The size of my town has gone from barely 40k to over 130k in that time. My only consolations are that 1) they didn't bother to build proper draining into the land and the entire thing has repeatedly flooded over the past ten years, and 2) I live on the edge of a massive stretch of rainforest, hills, beaches, and national parks... It's just a shame I have to drive through 30 minutes of trash to get there now.
