This is equal parts Trump level "whataboutism" combined with absurd revisionist history.
Can you name a poster who repeatedly spammed the Construction Thread with links to suburban crime? No? I can name one who spammed it with urban crime.
Can you name a poster who repeatedly sidetracked the Construction Thread with talk about the positives of real estate investing in condominiums? No? Well I can name one who spammed the negatives of condo investments.
The fact is the nature of this forum as a place to discuss mainly urban development means that it would be generally harder for those who are interested in urban development to troll. Their interest by it's very nature would lead to productive conversations about developments.
Those who are aggressively opposed to it, to the inner city lifestyle, and so on, are by their very nature more prone to preach, as if they have some grand lesson to teach the world about their brilliant insights into why inner city living is bad.
These people are more prone to send a variety of threads wildly off topic with their soap box preaching.
In either case, moderation should be on top of it. If an urban dweller attacks the suburbs in a manner not related to the thread, it should be removed. Same with the reverse.
Saying "both sides" is missing the point entirely, and yet another in a long line of "echo chamber", "censorship", "extreme left winger", "playing the victim" and so on rhetoric that is absurdly toxic, not helpful, and only sows the seeds of discord.
