A group of boomers. Refers to a gang of people generally born between 1946-1964, who have had the privilege of fucking up the environment, housing market, job market, inflation, and social mores for the rest of us.
Let's get in line and order quickly before that privilege makes it to the front and demands to speak to the manager.

The fast food version of housing, gross gray or tan cookie cutter, mass-produced houses or apartment complexes. They don't have to always be found in suburbs, and can be in urban areas as well. They are often thrown up quickly and shoddily, often after an area is clear-cut of trees and developed on, leaving rows upon rows of storage units for our human meatsuits while we're sleeping. Treeless suburbs devoid of character, with all matching houses and grass lawns. Basically, they're prison complexes with gates, lots of cameras, and security guards and all, but you can leave when you want. Housing for cogs. Cheeseburbs can pop up in industrial areas after the artists and one coffee shop have made the area trendy. They are also spotted in areas being gentrified by real estate investors, etc. The price for a cheeseburb house is usually top of the market for what is being sold, and rent is also priced to generally keep a certain strata of working class folks either out completely, or busting ass to afford housing.
Variations: Double Bacon Cheeseburb if the housing development is extremely expansive with large houses trying to be bougie. Junior Bacon Cheeseburb for a small area, or mobile home park where all the homes match.

"Did you notice that the city council approved a new cheeseburb to be built on the vacant parcel at the end of East Main? I hope they don't cut down those huge oak trees and take the spot where the kids play pickup soccer."
"Whoa, look at those Double Bacon Cheeseburbs-I'd get lost coming home from work because every house looks the same!"
