We live in the "Dulles Corridor," a semi-flat suburban hell roughly located between the Washington DC beltway and Washington Dulles International Airport. It is a technology corridor that houses an inordinate amount of telecommunications companies, mostly because the Pentagon and all of the Alphabet agencies are a few miles away and well, it's nice to be close to your richest customer. It is also the center of the Internet universe, the root servers that are the basis of what we call the Internet are housed here, so are the headquarters of the companies that control an incredible amount of the Internet's infrastructure.
Still, it is a semi-flat suburban hell where everything is painted in some kind of earth-toned palette, distances are measured in time, not in miles, and multi-million dollar homes don't have enough yard space to throw a ball around. And don't even dream of painting your multi-million dollar dream home of a color that isn't part of the color palette approved by your homeowner's association, not unless you are willing to go to court (and lose) over it.
