Spoiled Hampdenites don’t get what they want and throw a fit, trash their supposedly progressive values and resort to ableist and ageist insults because boo fucking hoo they don’t have another place for their dogs to take a shit. Big surprise.

I care about the mobility of my neighbors. And I take exception to people dismissing their needs as defects rather than accommodations for our neighbors. And I’m 34. I just possess a modicum of decency and concern for the welfare and safety of others.

The ability to do something and the safety of doing it are also two different things. But I understand that the 20 something gentrifiers in surrounding neighborhoods who don’t actually live in this neighborhood feel incredibly entitled to lecture to the folks who have lived here forever because “green space”.

This is incredibly ageist and ableist.

Ok Remington.

I have looked at my fucking neighbors

It's amazing how ageist and racist supposedly progressive hip white people get when they don't get what they want in a neighborhood they don't even live in. Y'all are like a Portlandia sketch. You can put a park there! Your grocery store? Put a park there! Your house? You can put a park there!

Most of our neighbors here are Black, but go off, Remington lol

The majority of the neighborhood wanted this. Sorry that all the hipsters in Hampden don't get what they want. We did. Butt out.

Edit: The ageism in this thread is shameful too. We care about our elderly neighbors. Their opinions, their safety and their history matter, they've been here forever.
