MY MIND IS MINDING

I'm just so tired of the short term thinking prevalent everywhere in society.

"We get most of our water from our aquifers... Let's build over the entire recharge area!"

"Our schools and other local amenities rely on property taxes for funding... Just go ahead and eliminate property taxes!"

A massive low density residential only development along an arterial road far from daily amenities swallows up 100s of acres of land. Not a single peep is brought up by anybody but perhaps the native plant society people.

A mixed-use apartment with ground floor retail gets planned right next to a grocery store and other daily amenities in walking distance. The hive of WASPs living in the low density neighborhood next door start losing their shit.

This post is brought to you by my mild annoyance at being sent an Instagram clip of some dude calling Mamdani a grifter because he asked for donations after his win was announced. 🙄
