Jackson MS water crisis

[Josh]

So is there a housing crisis or not?

In these rural areas, there isn't zoning - you can build basically any building you want.

So if lack of zoning is so great, why are people leaving these areas for cities with strict zoning?

Certain posters on MN keep asserting that everyone who lives in rural areas wants to move to the cities.

Your lies get tiresome.

Tough to have a constructive conversation when you call obvious hyperbole a lie. Though I suspect you're not here for a constructive conversation about this topic.

That wasn't hyperbole. It was a flat out lie.

OK, I’ll rewrite it more literally:

Certain MN posters keep asserting that rural areas are depopulating and the people leaving them want to move to the big metro areas / cities.

Is that better?

Much better. Thank you.

As an aside, I have noticed plain Anabaptists don’t use hyperbole or sarcasm much. Where I come from both are common. It’s a common misunderstanding.

Calling it an outright lie is not helpful tho.

Ken, you're the one who lied. I pointed out that you called hyperbole a lie, and you doubled down. I find that directly dishonest.
