because the ocean doesn't speak, neither do the trees nor the birds and the butterflies.
but landowners do,
owners of brownfield sites and those with ding rights
whose unwillingness to surrender their entitled land is marked by the small houses unorganizedly placed,
arranged in the most uncontrolled way possible
folks hold dearly to their village heritage and traditions and values
- unless they get a high premium as compensation
and property developers do,
who hoard lands,
including farmland
(that is designated for farming),
patiently and impatiently waiting to live the day the government bends the rule of the game to allow them build the most number of the smallest flats
to be sold at the most unaffordable prices
so that they will have even more money to acquire more land for hoarding
the business model is fairly sustainable.
and construction companies do,
who feast on the infinite infrastructure projects in the name of development
they build non-stop
and bulldoze non-stop
and the construction waste goes to landfill
and both land and landfill also do not speak.
even golfers do,
retaining exclusive usage rights from the last Century
which rich city does not need private golf courses?
it's a status symbol that the financial hub deserves
the spending of half the amount sitting at the bursary doesn't bother me,
but choosing the easy target and murdering the mute do.
