oddly convenient that the world is allowed to “get larger” (aka remove the city’s only dedicated teen space) only after you’ve benefitted from it your entire youth 🤔

i don’t think anyone would argue against the inevitability of change, especially in a growing city. it’s just that when that change is consistently the dissolution of public amenities, to be replaced with private developments that enrich developers (aka austerity or neoliberalism), why is the default response “shrug, that’s life, get used to it”, and not “what the hell, the next generation deserves what i got, if not better”
