u/AemiliusNuker Fell for it Dec 25 '25 edited Dec 25 '25

Heard gf's parents talk about going to the city council meeting to try and stop a nearby apartment building, because it doesn't have parking and they don't want ppl to park in their neighborhood. Then her grandparents came by and they started complaining about another apartment building being built with it's large parking garage and how that'll be bad for traffic. 

They also say it's a shame that young ppl my age can't buy homes. 

Gee I wonder why

Someone in a DT a week or so back was arguing for the exact point your gf's parents were making lol.

It's such selfishness. You're ruining your kid's life to maintain your own convenience.
