    I see what you mean but in this case the “benefit” is added not by building a fancy expensive facility or any amenities, but simply by BUILDING SHIT NEXT TO OTHER FUCKING SHIT which some people from civilized countries might mistakenly believe is the fucking standard in the US.

    Our idiotic zoning laws are to blame, and those definitely have some deep roots in 20th century Jim crow bullshit.

      That really isn’t unique to the US.

      Mostly know this from talking to friends rather than hanging out at UK or German Zillow, but if you live near a good train station or a nice park or whatever: the price of your property goes up.
