Brand-new strip malls that are half-empty because the management keeps kicking out stores that aren't doing Wal-Mart or Target business (even if they're just normal storefronts).
Walnut Plaza is a strip mall that's sorta near where I live and the only place for like 20 miles in any direction where you can sorta buy groceries so I'm pretty happy that it's there.

that police station in a village of 200 people that has like 6 police cruisers and constantly tickets anyone speeding in their village where the speed limit on the highway drops from 55 to 25

You can tell I'm from Ohio because small towns are "villages" to me

The way it works in Ohio:
< 5000 residents = "village"
≥ 5000 residents = "city"
This means we have some comically small "cities", because "town" has no legal meaning here
meaning there's no necessary difference in scale between a city and a town, though of course cities tend to be larger because the larger the town the greater the likelihood of there being a cathedral
and for extra fun, it works differently in every state.
in Virginia, for example, a town can have its own government,but is still part of the county surrounding it; a city is totally independent and essentially functions as a county in all but name.

"Village" brings to mind images of 19th-century buildings for me, but that's because most municipalities small enough to get that designations are old railroad towns and such that were built many years ago.
Occasionally you get suburbs full of modern housing developments that are "villages" but not as often.

I think there is a notorious senior living community in Florida called "The Villages" which is best know for being master-planned to hell and back and being horribly, horribly conservative

like a particular mall
fox is not bland and generic; it is actively bad
< 5000 residents = "village"
≥ 5000 residents = "city"
This means we have some comically small "cities", because "town" has no legal meaning here
over here "village" implies it's not really big enough to be a town and "city" is a legal term that usually implies it has a cathedral
shacks
This is the kind of scenery that comes to mind for me when you say 'village'.
i live in a "village" and it doesn't look like that, at least not around our way because it's mostly housing estate
(yes it was the first village that came into my head)
