Because Everything's Better with Lego, I'l like to suggest this.

Hrrm. It seems we already have a trope for suburb houses that look identical.

Something simpler then?

Ah, I forgot we had that trope.

Amusingly, the Lego picture is a better image for Cut-and-Paste Suburb than the current one, and its image isn't bad for Suburbia. Although a daytime image would be better.

If we can't find a better image, I wouldn't mind moving that pic to Suburbia and using the Lego pic on Cut-and-Paste Suburb.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Alright, the images have been added to their respective pages and tagged for this thread.

Caption ideas for either?

Old pic for Suburbia:

Where they cut down all the trees and name the streets after them.

Sometimes, someone tries to make his home distinctive.

For Cut-and-Paste Suburb, maybe "So many floor plans, so little imagination."?

We could also go for something more on the nose like "Ctrl-C...Ctrl-V...Ctrl-C...Ctrl-V..."

Suburbia can use its old caption. "Where they cut down all the trees and name the streets after them."

[up] Ooh, I like that latter one. For the former, that could work with something like *Open [insert some floor planning program name]* at the start.

I'm just going to add the old caption back to Suburbia. It's great, there was no reason to remove it in the first place.

Are there any "floor planning programs" that normal people would know and it wouldn't be confusing?

Eh, we could just come up with something, like "Sim Home" or "Insta-Crib".
