The US: BUT MUH PROPORTEES
@drahardja
It’s just the cheapest of excuses. MUH PROPERTEEZ didn’t stop us from building the interstate highway system. Property counts for diddly when the power brokers want something. Just ask the residents of Rondo in St. Paul. Hell, they planned that interstate with the specific and clearly stated •intent• of destroying private property…of Black and Jewish people.
Nope, property’s not a barrier to high-speed rail. It’s an excuse.
