A testament to the fact that the rear-facing side of the US is a flimsy shantytown.

One of the freeway onramps in Downtown SF goes right by some fancy new condo towers with $10 million units. On the side of the buildings that face the street everything is all polished and fancy, but on the side facing the onramp/freeway there are piles of garbage and discarded stolen junk and homeless people smoking meth. They used to have tents, but i guess the city keeps throwing the tents away (but not the garbage lol...except for during the superbowl). I passed by a couple days ago and there was a homeless dude just rolling around inside a trash pile.

I live in Tulsa and yeah, it was terrible. I even had to pick some DVDs and books off the floor afterwards. Really traumatic poo poo.

Though in all seriousness, we have the worst Governor in the country. Mary Fallin is a piece of poo poo.

She outlawed bans on fracking. Just let that sink in. Oh, and yeah, our schools are now ranked as the worst in the country. Our roads and bridges are poo poo. Oklahoma under Mary Fallin is turning into the hellhole that people always THINK Oklahoma is like.

All the nice areas are so rural they might as well be deserted. If you have to encounter an Oklahoma native it's your own fault.

Fracking is literally the most environmentally sound option we have for large scale energy production until fusion. It just needs stronger regulatory enforcement for things like wastewater management.

The alternative is scouring orders of magnitude more useful surface area with drilling facilities. Don't pretend like we don't need oil. I've literality testified and worked with the EPA on wastewater management.
