Junji Ito:

The suburbs are where there is literally nothing but the same exact houses in every direction for a mile, and the thing to do at the end of that mile is a large mall full of chain stores.

There's no bus that goes to that mall from where you are.

The only sidewalk that goes to the mall is on the side of a six lane throughway with a 40 mph speed limit and several crosswalks in front of freeway onramps. You've already had several near misses walking here, because obviously nonody here walks so the drivers don't even look for pedestrians anymore.

No, you can't cut through the enormous spaghetti pile of residential streets where all the houses are, those are all just a bunch of cul-de-sacs that don't connect to anything.

There are no trees on this giant street, and no buildings either, so if it rains you get soaked and if it's sunny the enormous pile of concrete creates a heat dome.

You can take the bus into the city, as long as it's a weekday between 6 and 10am and 3 to 7pm, because those are the only times the bus actually runs.

You are entirely surrounded by civilization and yet walking through a place that feels as desolate and hostile to your presence as a desert.
