I read Douglas Adams Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy as it was written and published as books. Very Smart Parody, probably merely considered as straight farce by many.

But only the past decade or so has the framing element of a bulldozer outside the door resonated as a real existential threat as I’ve watched the closest big cities, full of memories, very real to me, decimated by the mindless speculation of outside developers, not from the needs or desires of its inhabitants.

Toot

Written by Chancerubbage on 2025-01-24 at 14:34

Vulture Capitalists. Hustle Bros. Bribeable politicians. Speculative flippers driven to a dog eat dog lifestyle feeling it as their only survival choice. People seeing buildings as a short term investment tax shelter or money laundry rather than a home. Increased tension as the chaos drives more to crime and guns and distrust. They feel threatened because they are, as the fear and greed of faceless strangers gobbles them up. They feel cornered because they are. It’s a plague of locusts
