Besides all the very appropriate critiques this ad should engender of MAGA war stans who were too young to playact Rambo and Iron Eagle sequels in their 80s backyards... someone presumably got a lucrative contract to "produce" this AI dribble, and that's probably worth investigating

In a country as enormous and diverse as ours, it’s good to remember that people are moved and motivated by all kinds of interweaving things, many of them in their own backyards, and there is no single overarching narrative that will Explain The Moment. Be wary of those who claim otherwise.

I would like to know if the people interviewed in this story have single story homes or if they perhaps can see into their neighbor's backyards from the main house? And how that is different from the 2 story garden suite.
