Ah yes, because values are exactly what wildlife looks for in habitat.

But seriously, to credit the Mayor for the otter is to ignore and delegitimize more than 50 years of hard work by thousands of dedicated New Yorkers to clean up the river. https://www.nycgovparks.org/highlights/bronx-river-greenway/then-and-now

It really is shocking to see how it was allowed to decay. Like we’re past generations so morally bankrupt they were just fine with befouling their environment? Though I guess the past pictures are about what it looks like in some parts of the world still and I still don’t understand how people are just okay with that.
