    But I don’t wanna live in a densely populated area! I wanna live in a predominantly white suburb built on top of a large deforested area with an enormous grass lawn I will never use!

      That’s “fine*,” if you’re willing (and able) to pay the full cost of the infrastructure to maintain it and the real fair market value of the land. But the entitled NIMBY welfare queens who whine about such things invariably aren’t capable, let alone willing, which is why they’re demanding the government subsidize their privilege in the first place.

      And the even more fucked-up part is that, because of how ubiquitous the automaker, oil industry, and racism-fueled “American dream” propaganda has been over the last century, they often don’t even realize how ridiculous their position actually is!
