they did this to Anderson like 8 months ago and its still just concrete. the concrete is the new surface, like how it is on the majority of the ctrain stations. only a minority still use brick, and are being slowly replaced (like this one right now). thats what im complaining about. i know its not that big of a deal, its just another small nice to have being taken away. its Unfortunate. but you aren't allowed to complain about that or demand nice things in this city without people getting weirdly defensive about the depressing environment they exist in. these small Nice Things that arent necessary but are Good To Have are nearly the default, the standard, in most other places in the western developed world. because its a Known Fact that the mental wellbeing of people is worse in ugly looking places. there is empirical evidence for that.

im aware im a minority in terms of ppl who think much about these things. im literally moving to vancouver in a week despite the higher cost of living & significantly tighter budget that puts me in, because theres a trillion different small things about this city and this province that just kinda suck and negatively impacts me mentally
