The final boss of car-dependent city planning.

Nothing is walkable or connected. Everything is near everything, yet unreachable without a car.

Too many fields, overgrown ditches, empty lots, & dying buildings to be suburban — but too many gas stations, big intersections, chain stores, & commercial strips to be rural.

The Final Boss of car-dependent sprawl where you get the traffic of a major city without the jobs, walkability, basic amenities, nightlife, or human interaction. You have plenty of neighbors but you'll never meet them.

A great place to live if you hate people & love driving in heavy traffic. A worse place to live than Norilsk if you wish to date or have a social life.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
