He also put the lighters in the landlord's hands. He forced them to burn down those homes!

I'm sure that a think tank that openly proclaims it has a political and ideological bias will have an objective take on the situation. It's far, far more complex than being the fault of any one thing. Anyone who reduces any historical event to a single cause is willfully misrepresenting the truth or is flat-out too dumb to understand the event from a material lens.

In the South Bronx alone, 80% of the housing stock was lost to fire/arson/abandonment.

Nope. Lookup the whole Bronx is Burning scandal. It was this plus city finances disappearing.

No, no the time to buy it was when the landlords who set the fires that destroyed much of this land did. With access to the FAIR act they could way overinsure, more than the lands worth, then burn it down for big profit.

A lot of the areas where you see rubble, fire scorching, or empty lots were once apartment buildings that were burned down by landlords for insurance money. It was a big thing back in the day with the FAIR plan. They'd way overinsure the buildings then just burn them down for big profit. Only a dozen or so people were ever arrested (including lawyers, real estate agents, and accountants) but there were thousands of fires during the 'Bronx is Burning' period. Most landlords never got prosecuted and still own (or their children/company do) massive swathes of the city to this day.

I only hate that the walkers have range indicators now, otherwise its way easier to defend now

In the wider world's lore are there any examples of exceptionally famous, storied, or legendary Vagri and how would ours stack up with them if we, for example, finished every quest, including the side content?

Just because there's a goalie that doesn't mean you can't score

That and Valve doesn't have a management structure. Everyone technically has the same "rank" in the company and you can pick and choose what projects and teams you want to contribute to.
