Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged
sthetic@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI agree. I despise Trump. But removing a lawn and putting in hardscape, in a spot where people often gather for events, is not an insult to heritage or anything like that.
If a president that I otherwise liked did this, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
It’s not as if a lawn is super environmentally valuable. And I doubt people spread picnic blankets and play Frisbee on this lawn - they put chairs on it and walk on it with heels and hold events and stuff.

Ah if it’s just grass, fine. I hate grass. Always needing water or it’s gonna catch fire. And allergies to go around. Grass can go.

I know, I know, he’s just paving over the grass, who gives a shit, but if you keep reading:
Are there more White House renovation plans? Yes, Trump has shared plans to build a $100 million ballroom, similar to his private Mar-A-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Gross. So yeah that falls into stealing tax payer money and warrants a rage.
