phoenix is truly the "cute cock" of american skylines, avoiding the big oafish skyscrapers that weigh down other cities. |

Date: November 20th, 2017 2:01 AM Author: Maniacal bawdyhouse the U.S. is the only country on earth where people who live outside city limits consider themselves to be living in the city. that is because your cities are fucking shitty cities that have narrow boundaries with few people.
conveniently redrawing the boundaries so that you can pretend to be living inside proper city limits is stupid as fuck. its just a way to pretend a city's population is larger than it really is. if you live in a city proper, you live in the city proper. if you live outside a city, you live outside the city. thats it nigga.
