Covid was the first hit but are the riots finishing off the urban revival?

People need to stand up to the mob, or else it will continue. Our leaders have not taken any decisive action to stop the rioting, the violence, and the utterly disgusting, poisonous rhetoric that ignores and even encourages it.

We've even advanced a step beyond just that: now, if you condemn the rioting, or want to maintain law and order, you're evidently a racist.

Very disturbing stuff right now. I'm just not sure a country can survive this.

I feature many big suburban houses in the real estate channel I write and edit here in Philadelphia.

None of them are McMansions.

The term refers to a particular type of large house, one that violates basic principles of architecture in some way. You don't hear this term used to describe houses built much before the late 1990s, for instance.

Take a look at the suburbs of your city. See any nested gables on houses built before 1990? That architectural affectation I consider a McMansion-ish element, except it's used now on many much more modest houses.

THAT's what makes cities ugly, but you're silent now that your side is actively instigating the deterioration of America

You'll have a better time in life if you stop presuming that you know what other people think is "ugly" or not. For confusing fact and opinion I am upgrading my rating of how hilarious your posts are - 8/10.
