Pink Flamingo in a Suburbia Pool Print

One cannot deny the fact that Suburban life has had a cult-like grip on its members. Sure, the ex-city sprawl may have started as a response to the housing crisis associated with increased urban density, the forceful impact of societal supply and demand dynamics on linear economics. The impetus, though, soon morphed; in part due to Hollywood-induced ideas of single-family homes with manicured lawns, white picket fences, and their idyllic façade of affluence where men have jobs, women do lunch and are happy. Albeit, most homes were Levittown-style soulless, and many women enjoyed a Stepford Wives sort of happiness. The true undercurrent of the exodus, in large proportion, came as resistance to desegregation, and the promise of bland homogeneity of the burbs. As change, though moving at a glacial pace, is inevitable, and in the long run, education and knowledge prevail over ignorance, the suburbs have become more diverse. These days, residents, regardless of gender, tend to be mostly working class, and more kids go to school with peers of various ethnic backgrounds. Nevertheless, the desire persists to portray that fleeting image of perfection with meticulously landscaped gardens, backyard barbeques, pool parties, and yes, even the sometimes kitsch, always iconic, bright pink flamingo.
