In the same tone, why do we give a shit about some loser in a car on an ugly flyover? What material impact does catering to the momentary aesthetics of a car commuter have?
It does have a material impact on actual humans who are looking for affordable housing. Some douche in a lifted suburban...
Updated views from the hill. It's quite blue on this side. Nice colour pop. Curious to see how it looks once balconies, flashing, trim details are done.

No, It's managed by opus. The capital comes from elsewhere, and returns elsewhere.
But do go on. Not trying to doxx myself.
