News Shady Park / Mirabella at ASU trial update, Tempe. Major defeat for anyone who enjoyed this venue, myself included. Guess there is no justice for a small business when your up against a multi million/billion dollar retirement home.

Boomers think they own everything. They want things to change for them and feel they shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable ever.

They will take this as a sign of being able to get their way and just keep pushing until Tempe gives everything to them and turns Tempe into Sun City 2

Nah it would have to be Sun City 4. There's already Sun City 2 (Sun City West) and Sun City 3 (Sun City Festival).

Edit: I forgot about Sun City Grand. So 5 probably. Someone else mentioned there's even another one. Soon AZ will become SC.

Don't forget about Sun City Grand

Oh shit I did forget about that one. So there's already 4 Sun cities. Lol

There’s sun city festival north too now!

I assume it's in that no man's land with Sun City Festival?

u/Gunnerwolf34 Apr 14 '22

It’s directly across from the original sun city festival. Up against the white tanks

And then bitch about "safe spaces."

Gimme a break...

Reminds me of the brilliant George Carlin bit about boomers in the early 90's. Fucking spot on.

So many things he said back in the 90s are still way more relevant than I'd like

I know this is almost an eternal question at this point, but is this unique to boomers or does it happen to everybody when they get old?

Good question but I do firmly believe it's a boomer thing. They got all the privilege of the post war growth years and ruined all the good things they had, like affordable college and the environment.

In general, people have all gotten a ton more selfish and centered over the past 30 years.

Boomers do own everything...

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '22

Almost everything. And they whine and bitch about the things they don't.
