The people who will be feeling this particular pain is the poor, who will be forced to move to transportaionly (made that up) undesirable areas ...shacks in the hinterlands so to speak.
Someone paying 2 mill for a home will be driving past the shacks in the Hummer and still paying $5 a gallon for gas.
You dumb mf prick assholes who support this thing: I find your attitude: that the rule of law is not good enough for you, and that it's fine with you that any angry asswipe with a bic lighter gets to make the rules and risk like and property, abhorrent of the first order. Had the fire spread to the nearby woods then houses with low income families and burned some poor child or killed some of the firefighters who responded.....Jesus H Christ you dudes are fucked in the head.
So when some other disagreeable shithead comes to burn your house down for some other imagined "offense" in his head, I hope you remember these words.
