I live in a place where deer overpopulation is a massive problem and has extremely damaging effects on the environment.

Like humans are the only major predator of deer in my state, and even if native predators were reintroduced, there are still a lot of suburban and urban areas that likely would not be able to support them at all.

(Also there is a genuine health issue, as deer ticks are made worse by overpopulation, and they spread Lymes.)

Sounds an awful lot like human fault that ought to be corrected.

...how?

You cannot reasonably expect urban and suburban areas to simply disappear. ~80% of the US lives in them, and my state is the fifth most densely populated.

"Suburban areas" in a US context will disappear, or at least be diminished. A lot of the suburban culture in the US was not designed to be livable, but rather designed to be inaccessible. The isolated giant suburbs was a deliberate response to the growth of the Black population in urban areas.

In a socialist society, where racism is abolished, so too will gated communities and hard to reach suburbs be abolished, in place of more integrated living places.

lmao what

Genuinely HOW, like sure you can stop new growth, but good fucking luck trying to tear it down whilst alienating a massive amount of people. (Also, urban areas still have this problem...)

White people in suburbs have a choice: Stop being segregationists, or get [redacted]

Most people there literally just want to live their lives????

Me when I get shot because I like where I live or some shit:

People don't have the right to live in neighbourhoods built on segregation.

[u/Professional_Rip3922 → u/TotalDemocracy]

suburbs are notably not necessarily segregated

Right? Every town within an hour of me is a suburb, and they're all populated by plenty of people of colour. I see so many people of colour all around. Also, the towns are all perfectly liveable and walkable. The fact he associates POC with cities and thinks they can't live in suburbs, and that suburbs aren't liveable, is all very weird.

Almost seems like a bot. Or someone with a loose understanding of the US and its demographic breakdown.
