urban sprawl

- When house numbers go up to the 7000s, that's urban sprawl.

- When you work a night shift and come home at 5am, that sucks. When you start noticing that eight of your neighbours also come home from work at the same time, that's urban sprawl.

- When you stay up for another three hours just cuz you are a freak of nature, you also notice that all the spouses of those neighbours go to work at 6:30. That's urban sprawl too.

- When you notice that you and all your neighbours use their garages more as a dump for shit rather than a parking space for their cars, that's urban sprawl.

- When you get lost on your way home because of all the turns and 'crescents", that's urban sprawl.

- When every house in your neighbourhood looks like a pastel jail cell with no unique qualities, that's urban sprawl.

- When you have a Fortinos, Sobeys, two Shoppers Drug Marts, and another Fortinos within a two minute drive of your house in three directions, that's urban sprawl.

- When you live in Mississauga, say it with me now.. that's urban sprawl.
