Nah
Agreed. But I will say, these have more space between them and more yard than some of the smaller communities I've seen around Sacramento, unfortunately.
About a decade ago we were rental searching, and we turned into this development in natomas somewhere and all of a sudden I felt like everything was going to collapse in on me. You could literally borrow sugar from your neighbors through the bedroom windows, and the streets were so narrow you couldnât five-point-turn, let alone three. All the houses were 2 stories (or more, I canât remember) and looming over us. I said no, I canât live here, we are leaving. No one argued. Same feel as this photo.
though not haiku, i'm pretty sure this applies too:
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
There's a pink one and a green one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same
About 7 years ago we looked at a house in Serrano. Got out of the car, looked around, and there was a small greenbelt and then a hill and the hill was just blanketed in tile rooftops. This song immediately came to mind. I told my wife I'd still look at the house but I hated it there and would never live there. She agreed. It was a nice house but .. just no thanks.
I'm no poet. Chatgpt came up with these
"Write a haiku about natomas, CA"
Golden sun rises high,
Natomas, fields of green grow,
Peaceful, serene peace.
"Write a haiku about the suburbanization of natomas, ca."
Natomas, once green,
Now a suburban sprawl thrives,
Nature recedes fast.
Not haiku, but quite fitting
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus
People bought 'em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
Natomas a shithole even Kings got out⊠haiku? We donât need a stinking haiku to make a point! Once a shithole always a shithole even a levee break wonât flush them out!
Are you a city Or are you Sacramento No one really knows
The people's poet
This could describe several Bland Sacramento Commuter centric suburbs đ
Yeah but the syllabals wouldnât line up probably
âsyllablesâ
âsymbolismâ
Symbology
Not are a city A part of Sacramento Just a neighborhood
fuckin' natomas, how does it work?
Hit enter twice
You canât tell me what to do
I believe he did And you actually listened Ha ha ha ha ha
I am dancer
Went to Natomas, Ate at Hooters on Truxel, Shit my pants for days
This is beautiful đ„Č
No more Hooters on Truxel tho
Why is the food at Hooter's so bad?! It's so bad even the pretty servers don't make it worth it...
Because Hooters was never about the food. And any halfway decent chef wouldnât be working there.
A Natomas lie, OP's one heck of a guy, Posts pic of Dubai!
*snap snap snap*
Or posts excessive polls.
House house house house house I can't tell which one is mine House house house house house
Quite poetic. I like it a lot.
nailed it
This is beautiful.
Let's face it Normie You live here because of work. because it's closer.
City built with pride, Floods come, truth cannot hide, Nature takes control.
Whoa this one is super good. Deep.
Just like the flood waters
Maybe weâre boring But weâre getting a Costco! Who cares if itâs beige.
natomas costco but no costco gas station what a dumb idea
You do know itâs easier to build a gas station as an addition instead from scratch? Nice little permit loophole they will exploit later
I hope so, but there's a chevron being built right next to it already. I'm sure that won't make it easier to build a costco one later.
Different property, zoning loopholes đ€«
Depends
Wait, are they still getting one?
Not a haiku, but a question. Is this actually a real photo of Natomas?
https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/10kw3t4/dubai_suburbs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Nah
Thank God. This neighborhood is terrifying and donât think I could even visit, let alone live there.

You could probably borrow a little more then sugar through a window
Of course not. Not sure why OP couldn't just post an actual pic of Natomas.
Add a Del Taco in that pic and it's a suburban paradise
Land of Applebees Sprawling into the abyss Probably will flood
All you can eat!
Natomas C.A. A little out of the way Might flood tomorrow
âŠBUT I WISH IT DID TODAY HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, Vivarium, Watch out for strage kid, Thanks Natomas..
The north part of Sac With no real vibe of its own Busy and still lifeless
Nice. Love the last line!

Interestingly that song was written about a housing development in Daly City. Those ticky tackies are probably worth over a million today.
yeah, that's the sad part about all of this
Two million.
Goddamn it..You just reminded me about Weeds the show..now I want to binge watch it , but alas no HBO. I hope you're happy with yourself!! Jk
Itâs on Hulu and Peacock. And Freevee according to my Roku app, but Iâm not familiar with that app/channel.
Ohh I have Hulu, thanks friend!
Took the words out of my mouth

Honestly this pic looks like a 3D Space Invaders screen
This reminds me of the Weeds theme song. Little boxes
That song was originally about the san francisco hills
North Natomas floodsAll beige houses and chain storesLife moves slow, traffic
This isnât haiku I have only come to say that This pic shows Dubai
In Natomas, swelter, Heat bears down without respite, Concrete jungle grows.
These houses have too much space between them to be in Natomas
Traffic jams all day, Smog clouds the once blue skies, Natomas, farewell
Interstate eighty Dumb ugly crime, poor floodplain My heart races, flee
No more Arco Deep in the flood plane So much fast food
It's up north kinda Not really somewhere I go Natomas exists
Cooped up like chickens. Are humans the new livestock? George Orwell was right.
Suburban wasteland Blissfully unaware life Waiting for the flood (I used to live in Natomas)
My trypophobiaâs kickin in with that pic
When the Bay Area came to Sac
Tepid erections Hypnotic conformity Patterns eat themselves
Work in natomas The mosquitos eat very well I hated it here

In Natomas town, Traffic's a never-ending, Comedy of cars. ~ChatGPT
âNatomasâ a verb Meaning âgets lost in endless Identical streets.â
I literally Google satellited to make sure this wasnât a real pic
Train thru Natomas/Will take many to airport/More stops to small shops
Concrete and plastic Sacramento fantastic Dining view of you
A haiku (äżłè«§ ) btw is a three-line poem with 17 syllables. The first line has five syllables, the second seven, and the third five.
Natomas is there Sometimes I forget it is Until Costco time
You have selected "REGAL CINEMA NAT-O-MUSS MARKET PLACE. IF THIS IS THE THEATER YOU WANT, PRESS 1".
get me out of here dear god get me out of here anywhere but here
Went to Natomas Left Natomas after
Like Sacramento Lets build into the floodplain Engineers cackled....
Is this really Natomas? It looks like Vivarium. Sorry for the non-haiku
Between two freeways People talk a lot of shit But I like it here
Not a haiku, I just wanted to say I love Natomas! Geese fly out to the river every day over my house we have a Daiso and the library is fantastic.
Ashby once repped us Then sold out to the builders Apartmentgeddon
What is a haiku? Itâs saying a lot of things With not many words Alternatively Maybe itâs really Expressing a simple thought
Not haiku, but quite fitting Some rich men came and raped the land Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus People bought 'em And they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
Amidst the city's roar, Natomas whispers peace, Nature's beauty shines. \- ChatGPT, 2023
ChatGPT has obviously never been to Natomas
Is this seriously Natomas??
It is Dubai
Is this from the movie Vivarium?
Natomas, you wacky you Beige Edward Scissorhands neighborhood Blurp, blurp, blurp
Isnât this Saudi Arabia?
I remember that I had a Pez dispenser Chew Chew Yum Yum Cough
Ah, that's the River Shoal Estates subdevelopment.
Uniformity Is less ideal when Youâre in the flood plane
Who designed this place? / One way out of In and Out / Neighbors with levee
Below the flood plain. The sprawing endless eyesore. No more Arco now
Hexed hive mind houses Practical and humorless This is why we work?
A nice safe place? Or another Katrina waiting to happen?
Alone together/In human hive habitat/We have no neighbors
You are me I am also you too Who am I
God damned traffic place / Fuck I always get lost here / when can I go home?
This is a picture of a neighborhood in Dubai, why would you say it's Sacramento?!
đ€ it should start with: đ”Tiny boxesâŠ..
All beige neighborhood Miles of suburban hell Who wants to live there?
Flat land, beige houses Why are they all shades of beige Suburbs frighten me
Is this hell? One foot between each. This is hell.
Little boxes on The hillside little Boxes filled with ticky
Please, God, or Russia Carpet bomb Natomas now We need a floodplain
Lowly Natomas Inundation a given Get flood insurance
Natomas a shithole even Kings got out⊠haiku? We donât need a stinking haiku to make a point! Once a shithole always a shithole even a levee break wonât flush them out!
Why post a pic from another country?
