Interesting, I think this is the largest politics community and the behavior you describe is against the rules and actively enforced against. Where are you seeing it?

They’ve won forever if you check out. Use your vote to move the needle just a bit - waiting for a perfect solution means things get worse.

I don’t expect that, and I don’t let apathy and defeat prevent me from participating in the process.

I usually hear “everyone is corrupt” from the people who’s “guy” happens to have been found to be corrupt.

Kind of like saying “everyone steals office supplies” or “everyone cheats on their wife” - says a lot about one’s character.

you have to go all the way down below the dirt to prep a site for residential units. With a toilet, shower, and sink per unit, the density of sewer and water plumbing is much higher than commercial. Fire codes also demand egress points (a.k.a. windows) for every bedroom - hard to do Inside a big box retail space.

Half of the country certainly is not - a very vocal but small minority are spamming the fuck out of social media saying that.
