My idea for old strip malls in transit deserts is to consolidate car-oriented businesses there (used car lots, mechanic shops, gas stations, etc.) and relocate them from more walkable areas. A surprising number of cities in MA have random body shops and such located right in residential areas.

It's always been acceptable to discriminate based on wealth: landlords, grocery stores, hospitals, courts/jails, and universities frequently discriminate against people based on how much money they have.
Discriminatory access to shelter, food, healthcare, legal rights, and education is much more damaging than being the target of an edgy joke on a piece of graffiti.
At its core, American liberalism is about fetishization of process regardless of the material results.
@HuShuo Never heard that one myself, maybe it's a regional thing? Slang can be weird like that.
