Well at least you guys have good social programs. Here in SD the only people who aren't in debt are the ones who are gentrifying the place and making it all ****ty.

Yeah, it's true. That's why I never complain about the through-the-roof taxes in Denmark. Free healthcare for all and no one has to be homeless as long as they're willing to play ball with the system. |

1. We're a decently sized area, but there's **** all actually here besides a few scattered streets with small lines of bars and a mile-long beach with an... okay beachfront that takes at least forty-five minutes to get to for most everyone who lives here. And along the beachfront is literally a no-swearing zone with signs that have $@!# surrounded by a red circle with a slash going through the symbols. Srsly how the **** can in it be Constitutional to pass a law that says you can't swear?!
2. The area is so spread out that unless you have a car there is even more **** all to do or places to work, and even if you have a car it takes forever to get anywhere. 3. Jesus ****ing Christ it's humid in the summer and the Virginia coast is a malarial swamp of mosquito hell.

2: Is it enforced or just encouraged?

No idea. I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for swearing over there, but I imagine it would be a pretty small fine so perhaps word just doesn't get around about the odd person having to pay a fifty dollar fine. And there's a bit more of a cop presence on the beach, but it's not like marshall law over there so how the **** can they even enforce it with any kind of consistency? I'd like to think any cop who's not a complete **** would probably ignore any F-bombs cause who wants to be that kind of cop?

One thing that bugs me about my city are the parks. You might imagine that in a big city in a hot climate, people would value a green and shady place. Whether they do or not, they don't get it; the local council almost always go for something like this:-
Things like trees and grass are treated like troublesome elements that interrupt their glorious array of gratuitous concrete. Instead of being a respite from the sidewalks, many parks are actually worse, and when the midday sun hammers down, they are consciously avoided.
