      I see what you mean but in this case the “benefit” is added not by building a fancy expensive facility or any amenities, but simply by BUILDING SHIT NEXT TO OTHER FUCKING SHIT which some people from civilized countries might mistakenly believe is the fucking standard in the US.

      Our idiotic zoning laws are to blame, and those definitely have some deep roots in 20th century Jim crow bullshit.

          I hope you’re doing okay. That response seems a bit manic and times are tough.

          I just wanted to chime in saying the rich racists I know payy extra to live up hill from the nearest store or bus stop. They don’t want the riff raff getting near their house and a nice steep hill does wonders.

          They acted like I was crazy for wanting access to public transit and shopping two blocks away.

        Actually the opposite, suburbs were born out of racism. Look it up.
