Great. Nobody gives a flying fucking shit about your ignorant attitude to historical preservation either.
If you cared so much about living in the place you grew up in you should have paid the rent there.
> allow the land to be used for people who are actually living there
What we do over here, because we have more history than a Happy Meal, is preserve significant historic buildings so future generations get the chance to experience them. That's how we go on having more history than a Happy Meal.

That’s a fucked up thing to say to someone.

Just turning things you said around on you. If you don't like your own words, maybe you shouldn't have said them in the first place?

That’s not as clever as you think it is.
In one useless building is demolished.
In the other, a person, a living human being, is forced out of his hometown.
Do you really think my statement comes anywhere close to being as offensive and callous as yours? Explain it to me slowly.

You weren't forced out. You could have just plucked money from the same magic money tree you were expecting the government to use.
Were you forced into some sort of warzone, natural disaster or humanitarian crisis, or did you just have to move to a different town?

Nah, Your not getting it mate. They're saying that history matters, just not yours.
