One could probably replace the picture with one that captures American suburb. About as soulless and much less efficient in terms of housing. Take the picture in early spring or late autumn to make it extra depressing.
Take picture of the area above during a busy summer from street level and it might actually look cozy in a weir way.



It varies but I would say typically around 25. Years 18-24 are still mostly spent coming to terms with adult responsibilities and unlearning oversimplified teenager worldviews.
Life altering events or lack of can influence this one way or the other. Like moving out, starting a relationship, having children or loss of someone close. (Literally anything that makes one re-evaluate ones values and thinking)
Like someone living with their spouse and 2 children at age of 25 will likely act more mature than say socially isolated NEET still living at their parents at age 30. (Not trying to shame with the latter, just pointing out how life experience outweighs age in this)
