"we're going to build dense housing in this historical area! some will be affordable!"

"great! that will help ease our city's need for it. and I assume it will look like the architecture around it, right? to blend well and because dense housing dates at least back to the Roman empire- and that's just in western history -so the ideas are not contradictory?"

"no, no, no! it's going to be minimalist! sleek! modern!"

"and the public wants that in a historical neighborhood?"

"nope, we've had massive backlash."

"so why not just make the buildings in a style that blends better?"

"those styles are...uh...not eco-friendly!"

"but don't buildings from back then have better mechanisms for passive heating and cooling since they came from an era before A/C and central heat? and haven't studies shown that new buildings should actually have thicker walls and smaller windows, which used to be more common, for more efficiency? and that heating/cooling one room at a time is also more energy-efficient, so open-concept isn't all that green? and wouldn't construction that involves less plastic, while not perfect by any means, involve less non-biodegradable waste? also, aren't modern buildings significantly more dangerous in the event of a fire, due to plastic outgassing and faster-burning materials?"

"no comment."

"and don't a lot of people like decorated buildings and living spaces?"

"some of them like simple minimalism!"

"okay, then how about some of the new housing is in an older style and some is more modern? a compromise?"

"who cares about how it looks? we just need housing!"

"are you saying people who need housing don't deserve to live someplace nice?"

"but...well...I...all that ornamentation is too expensive!"

"and why did the mass production of things like wood and plaster trim for homes, and ornamental hardware, stop? besides changing tastes and to the extent that it has- which is not universal, by the way; you CAN still find some of this stuff for sale"

"because we didn't want to pay the workers fair wages when unionization became more commonplace."

"how many yachts does the CEO of this development company have?"

"...five."

"the defense rests"

A tiny thing I loved about this most recent MAWS episode -- as soon as Clark realizes he and Kara are going to fight, he makes Kara chase him away from the building to limit the collateral damage. And at every opportunity he chooses to leave the city, either going to the skies or the countryside. It's just nice to see him prioritize avoiding the civilian casualties like that.

You have no idea how much I want him like I am infatuated with him. I am obsessed. I am deeply in love with him. I have never felt such strong emotions for someone in my whole life.
