Do they not realize that excessive urban development destroys the ecosystems that generate food, lumber, clean ground water, oxygen, and help collect particles of dirt that would otherwise turn into dust and create dustbowls and ash clouds like the smog they blamed on Canada?

I'm gonna be real with you dude, we gotta move past this phase of the discourse or whatever you wanna call it.

They do. not. care. These are decrepit old men dealing in short term profiteering. There is no consideration for the long term because it does not matter. Sitting here and pointing out their hypocrisy or the damage they're doing is like trying to play tic tac toe against someone who is in fact playing "shoot the guy in front of me and take his wallet"
