We've all seen them, the old photographs of post war suburban developments where there was so much hope and promise of a brighter future but now we have them in a contemporary context, and the photos still embody the idea of hope despite faded colours and being time warped into a time where new burdens have been thrust upon us and the shiny future promised us has turned out to mostly involve long work days and a fleeting idea of the American Dream dangled just out of reach (...if I work just a little bit harder...). These houses in this photograph are only a couple of years old. It's stupefying to think we still haven't learned.
