This guy is an absolute douchebag. He's a disrespectful piece of shit and anyone involved with Soylent in any capacity ought to be ashamed with his antics. For those who don't know, Lincoln Heights is a working class neighborhood, that as of the last 2-3 years is undergoing rapid gentrification.

For those who don't know, Lincoln Heights is a working class neighborhood, that as of the last 2-3 years is undergoing rapid gentrification.

Sounds like he's helping to counteract that by reducing the neighborhood value.

He bought some land and put a shipping crate on it. So what? Your response seems completely unproportionate.
And why does that matter in this case?
You're being downvoted, probably for the forcefulness of your opinion. But sometimes there just isn't a "nice" way of stating things like this. FWIW I agree with you.

This guy isn't yet anywhere near the level of douchebag that, say, Martin Shkreli is. But he's well on his way.
