I was born in 1953 and my image of people doing labor like this , based on how we perceived people in low income countries, is of a person whose body was worn out by age 30

but terms and conditions apply; what I said is certainly true for NYC or Chicago, maybe not Bloomington
but in general the willingness of YIMBYs to pave over grass is IMO really bad IMO
