Truly incredibly weird space usage in the former field there. Plant some trees or something idk

IDK I imagine having a baseball diamond readily accessible to residents would lend itself toward building a stronger sense of community.

I meant the way too much grass in the outfield. I doubt people are gonna be grand slamming it far enough out that that would be a problem even if they are playing baseball a lot, and it would definitely be better to have something like a little woods to stop balls from flying out into the road all the time.

Little Timmy is gonna slam head-first into a tree while trying to catch a fly ball

Shows him for living in the baseball prison.

Little Timmy, age 41, is a serial neighbour annoyer who keeps blasting line drives through my window at 3 am and telling me to "come out and play ball, Greg" I don't even know a Greg.

NGL, I'd really like to be Little Timmy's neighbor, even if he breaks my windows and gets my name wrong.

I just love baseball so much.

That's what Spaceman Lee believes.

I guess you can still play baseball with your neighbors this way?

[-] huf@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

they wont, they hate trees. i think it has to do with the genocidal colonial mindset, really. they still imagine themselves as brave pioneers clearing the ancient forest to make way for civilization.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

It's also something they do in Europe. Every public outdoor space has to be a brightly lit panopticon with no trees or shrubberies obstructing the view of anything as otherwise people could do crime, making law-abiding citizens feel unsafe.

Also, a large flat featureless lawn is considered much cheaper and easier to maintain than an actual garden or park where you would have to cut hedges, prune trees and you would have to drive your giant lawn mower tractor around stuff.

parks and yards here in hungary are better on average, but yeah, the new ones are usually almost treeless.

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 21 points 10 months ago

Yeah they could plant a fucking orchard there. They even have lights pre-installed if the plants need a little boost in the off-months.
