It's kinda crazy that buying up that much land is cheaper than building parking garages.
In case you didn't know this is Dodgers Stadium in LA and opened 1962 so land was much cheaper then. Also all the land this stadium sits on was seized via eminent domain for a federally funded housing project but because of socialism the city bought the land from the federal government for pennies on the dollar then the Dodgers bought the land and built the stadium there.
Another fun fact about this stadium is it's built over a couple ravines. They leveled the top of the surrounding hills and used that dirt to fill in the ravines. The parking lot northwest of third base has a buried elementary school under it.
How did socialism result in the city buying the land for cheap and then selling it to the Dodgers? That sounds like the opposite of socialism.
They're joking that the welfare state housing projects were called socialism when that's not socialism at all. We dismantle social democracy initiatives and shoot ourselves in the foot because thats what it means to be an American.
