Every time I hear someone go on about how regulation destroys businesses and all that jazz, I want to hit them with a history books. We have proof that companies will literally let us die (or kill) us without regulation. You can not trust people who only want to make money.

and yet it continues to happen via Ryan homes, and others. Everyone is chill while they're just screwing up Allegheny county, but unchecked it'll be happening everywhere

Not to mention what I've anecdotally heard is that their homes are overpriced pieces of shit, so we can look forward to them falling apart instead of being lasting housing.

it's so easy to find evidence and opinion of this that it's hardly anecdotal anymore :(

the only solution is more people get involved with their municipal boards. Ryan homes talks $$ and community growth. People need to say that they don't want that growth, or find new ways to created limited pockets of mid-rise condo towers, that fit with homeowners budgets, and maybe some re-imagined idea what that lifestyle can look like
