This was a really good, philosophically powerful read. It reminded me of Marx's alienation, but for urban ecology; humanity creating capital to serve it, but humanity ends up serving capital, but for the places we live: the suburban hell. Capitalism creates these liminal, disconcerting spaces where we feel totally alienated from our environment, where everyone is not really "living", just on there way somewhere. No loitering or enjoyment of life is allowed.

That's a really good insight, it's another manifestation of how capitalism breeds alienation.
