maybe no one has thought about before, it IS anarchy.

Think about it: there's no CENTER to a burb for all of the place to revolve around. It's just......spread spread spread sprawl sprawl sprawl. If there's a piece of land fucking PUT something on it to make money! Lots of money! Damn any consequences! WHO CARES? No downtown, no center, just spread like a bad disease or like that slime in 1950's scifi B movies that kills everyone and just spreads its noxiousness everywhere.

And yet, it's one of the oddest forms of anarchy ever developed by humans because it contains within it the STRONGEST element of conformity you could imagine.

Anarcho-conformity.

Dear God, it's horrifying. Anarcho-conformity. I know, I know, they are contradictory, but therein lies the true horror that is suburbia.

Thank you for helping me flesh that out.
