After the Covid-19 crisis, the trend of moving outside the big cities has accelerated. The cartoonish representation of houses and roads is accompanied by text (english translations below) inspired by very familiar quotes and sayings about living in the (romanian) suburbs, which can be heard from the media or people living in suburbia. They range from hopeful and confident statements to an expressed disillusion and disappointment.

Here are some examples:

"Rents went up again"

"Why don't you buy a country house, too?"

"It's like in the countryside, quiet and calm, no one bothers us"

"I can't wait to move to my own house"

"It's great not having any neighbours, I'm sure nobody will think of moving here too"

"I heard it takes you an hour to get from home to the office"

"I wonder when they'll bring the sewage system"

"It's been 10 years already and they still haven't poured asphalt on our street"

The fact that the painting is applied on a dead tree on the outskirts of a romanian city enhances the irony of the expressed situation.
