Halloween is coming and I have no plans. It makes me sad. I think there's a couple of things going on, but I've just lost any desire to leave the house these days.
Speaking of houses, my father called me (this has happened like once before, ever) the other day. The dumb fucking county government back home condemned the land around my family's and resold it to a developer. They are now putting in low income housing around what was a very quiet nieghborhood of other reclusive people. Other than the fact that I think it's sick how the developers got that land in the first place I'm now more than a bit pissed because my family (not just immediate family either) all lives on this strip of land that was a private airport and now they're saying that they can't fly because it will de-value the properties they're building. They're also literally building up to my parent's backporch. My family has lived on this same damn patch of land since before the town was founded and now everyone is going to have to move. It doesn't affect me so much, but the idea of helping my grandmother move into some apartment until she finds a new house because of a couple of bloody politicians makes me sick.
The sadest part is that my family isn't the first and won't be the last, but no one seems to care until it directly affects them. I've known this was going to happen for a long time now. I guess we all did, but it still hits hard when they finally do it. I wish the government could just keep thier noses out of everyone else's business.

Developers are scum. Worse even than used car salesmen and politicians. They have enough money to pay for county council members and lawyers if that doesn't work, so they always get their way. Even if their way will eventually lead to ruin. Fuckbags.
