    Pros of yacht-centric development:

    • If you own a yacht, it means you are rich and therefore better than others.
    • If you’re in a car, some homeless guy could just walk up to your car and beg for money (so awkward!). In a yacht, what are they gonna do, swim?
    • Waterfront access is the American dream. Building roads instead of canals is literally communism.
    • Yachts and canals are great for home values. Gotta keep those prices going up!
    • Cars just aren’t sufficient for your average person to haul 20 friends to their weekly parties on their private islands. People need their yachts to go about these basic necessities of life!

    Pros of car-centric development:

    • ???
    • There are no pros of car-centric development.

      Pros, cont’d:

      • The increased emissions from the yachts will accelerate climate change, making MORE waterfront; it’s a problem that solves itself!
      • More waterfront = higher property values; yachts also lift everyone out of poverty, ezpz

        I like how you think. We should invest in all that soon-to-be waterfront property and resell it for huge unearned profits in 10 years when it becomes waterfront!
