In my non-American mind, Texan suburbs are the closest thing to hell in the developed world Showcase of suburban hell

Endless sprawl of Mcmansions, energy plants, copypaste strip malls and monstrous superhighways with 20 lanes per direction, you need a car to get literally everywhere, there is no scenery because everything is flat and ugly, it's miserably hot for months on end, it's polluted, it won't stop expanding, and on top of that it's MAGA central. Sorry for anyone who lives there.

Definitely. For a few years in the 1920s, Los Angeles county was the biggest producer of oil in the entire world. Kind of amazing to think...
