subdivision

Large scale housing developments designed for the highly mobile American workforce, which moves around laterally geographically and downward economically, being replenished by computers, robots, AI, nobody, and greedy corporate boards and stakeholders at the top. When they first feel the squeeze, employees try to move laterally, finding jobs and corresponding housing in nearby subdivisions. As they age out of the highest paid jobs, they move into more and more remote and chintzier subdivisions. Eventually, should they lose their jobs and become unemployable, they may wind up squatting in an abandoned house in a subdivision, or living in a shantytown laid out to look, inevitably, like a subdivision.

I am so relieved that we moved into a nice subdivision. I feel like so many choices are made for me. Thank goodness my options are limited. Who has time for choices any more? Gotta get back to work.

He's never felt dirt on his hands in his life, he's just a subdivision cowboy!
