Bread and CircusesSomeone in Hungary has cleverly posed a very good question...
Is this what we call progress?

It sickens me to walk through my neighborhood. We have lived here 40 years. It was mostly woodland, some farming in the 1800s. Subdivided in the 1920s into 1-acre lots, but only about 1/3 were developed. So it was a lovely couple of 100 acre pocket of virgin and 2d growth woodland until rich folks discovered it. Now much of it looks like a golf coirse with $M castles. All they lack is moats.

Trojan Duck@dbc3 @breadandcircuses You'd think they would need moats given that particle board doesn't hold up well against a trebuchet.
