Another article linked from within the same one posted here [1] is so batshit insanely heartbreaking and infuriating.
Much of today’s nonsense becomes so much clearer when you learn what was par for the course merely a century ago.

- 0815test 7y agoThe article itself is of course fine; what's "batshit insane" and heartbreaking is the blatant unfairness it describes. Newsflash - exclusionary zoning leads to exclusion, which often has its hardest impact on vulnerable minorities. Who would have guessed? There is a common stereotype that segregation and exclusion can only result from fuzzy "structural" forces or from private action by opportunistic and unethical individuals - but in fact, these things can endure because they're often enforced by a morass of laws and regulations, though sometimes in remarkably devious and opaque ways.
- eecc 7y agoIt’s an adverb and it refers to the heartbreak, not the article itself. I’m afraid you misread my comment ;)
