What sarcasm? American suburbs do exactly that.

  I'm aware. But I assume you don't actually want more of that because of your other comment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35369203 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35369203

    This is one of those cases where it can be hard to tell if it's someone's honestly-held opinion or not. In this case, I think not just because of the exact wording. However, there's no shortage of people, including on this very forum, who have this exact opinion and write very similar things whenever discussions about American suburbs come up. Of course, they don't quite say "I hate black people and don't want them living near me", but they really do say they don't want "poor" people or other undesirables living anywhere near them.

At first, I was going to reply with "the sarcasm is obvious", then I remembered that some people just fail to notice sarcasm, then I also remembered that they fail because there are enough lunatics on internet who would actually unironically write something like my comment. Also, I will assume you are a fellow railfan, because of your name.
