Bit by bit. What ain’t profitable has a tendency to go lower in priority.

“It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents.”

Me: Is usury a force that removes playgrounds in the city?
ChatGPT (jan23):
Usury, or the practice of lending money at excessively high rates of interest, can potentially have an impact on the availability of playgrounds in a city. If a city prioritizes the interests of developers and investors over those of its citizens, it may lead to the removal of public spaces like playgrounds in order to make room for more profitable developments. This could happen if the city officials, due to the pressure of usury, decide to sell or lease land that is currently used for playgrounds to developers for commercial or residential use.
However, it’s important to note that there are many factors that can lead to the removal of playgrounds in a city, and usury is just one of them. Factors such as population growth, urbanization, zoning laws, budget constraints, and changing priorities for public spaces can also play a role. Additionally, there are many cities where the officials and the citizens are working together to create a livable and sustainable city for all, where the playgrounds are not only kept but also improved.
