@live Reminds me of when the people in my town were about to raze 75 acres of woodland to develop a suburb because tax dollars.
My mom (naturalist, local activist) had to explain to them that the impact of more cars/demand for resources would likely offset whatever minor boost they got from having more people. They didn't believe her. (This atrocity got canceled after the town learned this shit show would be taking place right above the town water supply).
People are fucking dumb.
