Thursday Triumph or Travesty VI

Sorry folks, but I have a somewhat important paper due on Tuesday that I started yesterday, so Thursday Triumph or Travesty will be a bit short and a bit off topic this week. I suppose I should start by mentioning that last week's received 1 comment and 0 votes, so there will be no up or down for it. Oh well.

Today's subject is the suburbs of Mexico City, or, Suburbia as Abstract Art. Perhaps you enjoy the suburb you live in (if you live in one), blissfully unaware (or just dismissive) of your savage critics. Perhaps you are one of the savage critics. Or perhaps you fall somewhere in between (keep in mind, though, that moderation will not be tolerated during Thursday Triumph or Travesty). Regardless, though, of your estimation of the suburbs you've lived in (unless you've lived in one of these), you surely will not expect the sublime regularity of these suburbs in Ixtapaluca:
