    Well that’s not what you said. It’s not unreasonable except for the fact that you just eliminated all the green spaces from an otherwise concrete jungle. I could be persuaded anyway, but it’s a not insignificant downside.

          No need, I was objectively being an asshole for most of it. I’m a leftist, and I want to live in a world where people are put above profit and cooperation is more important than competition. I want to live in an egalitarian society not a stratified hierarchy. I’m extremely frustrated not just by how far from that we are, but how much further we constantly get.

          I took my frustrations out on you as if you were being malicious
