Yes ! I do it to people without explaining . Always funny to me . <| sep |> Gas powered leaf blowers have been banned near residences in L . A . for almost 20 years . <| sep |> I love the Midwest cos everyone is so damn nice and helpful <| sep |> Your comment truly effected me . <| sep |> Again you insist I ' m being elitist and thinking about popularity . No . Get that idea out of your head . The west is growing because space and resources mean that it has more room to growI ' m not sure what you mean by the original statement , my original statement was a counterargument to your there ' s a reason the east is more popular than the west comment , which is the point I ' ve continued to argue . So I ' m going to assume you ' re talking about the fucking everyone comment , which you appear to have seriously misinterpreted . He wasn ' t bragging that everyone wants to live here , he was complaining about it in a hyperbolic way . People are flocking here from out of state , they clog our roads , raise our rent , and drain our resources . A westerner picks up that the intent of the statement isWho wants to live in the west ? fucking everyone . Its not meant to be literal and certainly not meant to be a brag . Everyone knows that where people desire to live is a matter of personal preference , which can widely vary .
