Montana isn't going to pull out of the union. Just rattle the saber a bit. Still, it's a good showing of support. My state's constitution has a very strongly worded right to bear arms clause. PSP generally ignores it when possible. Philly routinely tries to violate the state and federal constitution, as well as the UFA.
They're HOUSES.
With LAWNS.
That don't cost a goddamn fortune.
People in these houses can enjoy some real, actual privacy,not living in some deranged hive of an appartment building.
Every single one of these people enjoys, for an otherwise numerically insignificant amont, luxuries that, down here, are only affordable to the awesomely rich.
The per capita income for Israel is $33,299, which is pretty respectable. What is the limiting factor on housing? Water scarcity? Taxation? Government management of property?
The big complaint is the unrestricted growth and the soulless nature of these areas. The box stores kill the small stores which used to be part of the character of a town. Nobody who lived here before urbanization thinks it is a good thing. The neighborhood hardware store is gone, the corner grocery store is gone, the small sporting goods store is gone, the unique neighborhoods with character of their own are gone.
Thing is, no one puts a gun to folks heads to make them buy from big box stores. I generally avoid them if possible. Not for any reason besides quality concerns and bad service.
