and they can live surrounded entirely in man made constructs and sheer rock.

Times like this I just want to retreat to a hidey hole in the countryside and spend time with birds and possums and let the whingers of mass destruction live in their moonscapes so neither of us have to deal with each other...

No, they would not. They want to live on their own house blocks, but if a leaf from a neighbours tree should fall in their yard, they will throw a raged fit. They will install nothing but concrete and fake grass in their own yards, and spend their evenings kicking over any saplings the council tries to plant in nature strips or parks. Probably because ‘leaves’ and ‘birds’.
