Today in Jesus fucking Christ I hope your house burns to the ground:

The housed residents around this encampment apparently came up with a suggestion to CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES in this park so that the unhoused people had no shade and would have to leave.

Up early doing #CommunityDefence which doesn't involve arson.

Edited because voice-text and too tired to proofread. Expect some very specific ranting later today.

@Gigi what the actual fuck. They want to make their community worse just to spite homeless people? I guess suburbanites truly do never go to parks anymore

@trainguyrom

Apparently the bougie motherfuckers downtown got the idea from them, then πŸ™ƒ

@Gigi Arson is highly underrated.

@Gigi

Good grief. What the actual fuck is wrong with some people?!

@Gigi the Lorax is displeased

I can only imagine a kid asking their parent to read that Dr. Seuss book, and then asking about why all the trees were cut down in their neighborhood

@Gigi Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face...

@Gigi

I did an online class on happiness and one of the things I took away was the more people will keep themselves in a poorer place if it means someone else doesn't get more than them.

The replicable study said they'd give someone an extra amount of yearly pay if they allowed a coworker to get a promotion and raise. Most people said no.

@Gigi that's so incredibly evil. Like those park benches with barriers built-in so no one can sleep on them.
@Gigi NIMBYs are why so many parks have no shrubs. Lack of understory is terrible for habitat, but the NIMBYs don't care, they're so hateful that they can't stand the thought that someone might have shelter or a tiny bit of privacy.
@Gigi Sometimes it's flat-out homophobia.
