    I’m not “stomping” on anything. But. If people who were rich enough to have lawns in cities started turning their lawns into “community gardens” where only their rich friends could do stuff, but pretending that it was open to everyone, then started erecting monuments to their own generosity. Then I wouldn’t shame anyone for stomping those gardens.

    I guess I just don’t think rich people who own the nicest properties in town should be the ones to dictate what gets shared and with whom.

      Do you think little libraries are only seen in rich suburbs? I think they’re just as common in middle class neighborhoods as well as in front of public schools, public parks, churches, and the start of hiking trails. Also, nobody’s preventing poor people from taking a book, it’s quite literally open to everyone

      I don’t know what your deal is. Our little free library is in our neighborhood public park next to our community garden, in the same PUBLIC PARK.

      I don’t live in the suburbs so I don’t know what to tell you

      That’s a moronic way to look at the world and will get you nowhere. Period.

      Isnt this literally the “WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS WITH NO PROFIT INCENTIVE” meme
