“We have thirty empty homes in Winter Haven. We cannot let such a valuable resource go to waste. And each of you—the leaders of this community, right here in this room—those homes are for you and your families. For all that you’ve sacrificed and will sacrifice to keep this town safe and united, you deserve it.”
They deserve it?????? How? Can no one see how asinine this all looks/sounds?! I know this is a story and the reason the author is taking this route but ugh it makes me itch.
