Scary

Times said:
The supermarket chain plans to develop four “mini-villages” in the South East along with “mixed-use living and leisure” schemes in Ipswich and northeast England.

The schemes feature scores of homes, all near a Tesco store. The plans raise the prospect of people finding a home in a “mini-village” through the company’s estate agent service, securing a mortgage through its banking arm and fitting it out with Tesco products bought on one of the company’s credit cards.
yikes

Is this some kind of window into a bizarre Machiavellian future? The corporate future?

There are a few new housing estates near me that look as if Aldi have built & populated them:

Terrible aesthetics, cheap, and not too many natives frequenting them.

They are though.

I know some TESCO employees and they think it's great. They love TESCO, they've been brainwashed, It's a sinister cult, much more dangerous than these scientology freaks.

I think they should be stopped.
