Tract housing

Tract housing (also known as cookie-cutter housing) is a style of housing development in which multiple identical or nearly-identical homes are built to create a community. Tract housing developments may encompass dozens of square miles. Tract housing developments are typically found in North American suburbs that were modeled on the "Levittown" concept.

Tract housing development only makes use of a few designs, and labor costs are reduced because workers only need to learn the skills and movements of constructing a limited variety of home designs. In addition, as all homes in the development will be built at the same time, the cost of purchasing and transporting building supplies may be reduced due to economies of scale. Components such as roof trusses, plumbing trees, and stair systems are often fabricated in factories and installed on site. This allows contractors to reduce prices, which in turn can make homes more affordable (and more accessible to a larger percentage of the population) and may also allow contractors to reap higher profits.
Early tract homes were often identical, but more recently built tract homes no longer look identical from the exterior.

The concept of tract housing is occasionally mocked in American popular culture as the basis of a sterile and dispiriting suburbia. Nonetheless, the use of tract housing in new American suburban developments continues to dominate.
Laura spends her days in her tract housing community with her young son while her husband goes off to work. She leaves only to run trivial errands like buying flour or getting a haircut. On the surface they are living the American Dream; she is nevertheless deeply unhappy.

The Rockville Centre HOUSING PROJECTS 

The only gritty and dangerous section of middle to upper class Rockville Centre, NY. Located on North Centre Avenue, it gets very shady here late @ night. Unsavory characters in hoodies congregate here. Just a few yards away on North Village avenue lies million dollar homes. The Rockville Centre Projects even have the token bodega in front of them right next to the Martin Luther King community center. Robberies take place here all the time and there was even a shooting out front back in 2007. Don't let people fool ya when they say Rockville Centre is 100% safe. These projects border the area of Lakeview which borders hempstead.
The Rockville Centre Housing Authority, TRANSLATION: " The Rockville Centre HOUSING PROJECTS are a dangerous place to hang around.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.
Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

Example 2:
