>>7596443>this new shit just looks like the worst chineese importthank the levitts and the greed/nigger-tier laziness/cowardice on the part of GI gen and boomers. they couldn't put in the effort to maintain older buildings, i.e. replacing weathered wood siding with vinyl....combine that with a general ambivalence, even antipathy, for heritage and an obsession with "progress" and "modernization". another major component: cars/cheap gas and easy loans right after the war gave boomers and their parents an easy way out of having to physically keep niggers out of their old neighborhoods to prevent them from falling to shit. but they did, of course, and were subsequently bulldozed, with some areas redeveloped into massive filing cabinets, be it for niggers or gov employees, and others just left vacant to the present.
just knowing that there was a time that we could build things like pic related makes it all the more enraging.
