This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

These discussions are never about rural areas. No one is going to a rural town and installing[...]

That's... not what I'm talking about at all in regards to people talking down about people who live outside of urban centers. There are people out here actively calling people maga chuds based entirely on the environment they live in.

I personally have the displeasure of knowing plenty of god awful nimbys, and they're all upper class urbanites worried that their little nest egg(s) in the wealthy parts of my local city will lose value.
