    I’m sorry you had to witness that. I wonder if it’s possible to incentivize conservation, or if the solution would just be regulation with teeth.

      It’s all good. It’s been happening for years now but I havent been to that part of town since they started “developing” it. There’s been a handful of local protests and more (relatively) progressive people running for local office but so far there hasn’t been any success. I think direct action is called for at this point but there isn’t much in the way of activist orgs down there unfortunately.

      It’s a very conservative town. The 30 person demonstration for the BLM protests back in 2020 made the front page and had the cops freaking out
