This topic is one of the things that brings up how people are emotional first, and sometimes only.
Like, I'll point out all the problems with golf, and all the better things we could use the space and resources for, and the pro-golf person will respond with "but i like it" as if that means a fucking damn thing.
The fact that some people "like" golf is not enough to justify the poor use and allocation of resources.
(Yes, I realize I'm holding onto a years old argument I had with a peer and that's not especially healthy. But I feel like this argument comes up all the time. I'll be like "We can't keep building for cars-first. It's bad for the environment, bad for the neighborhoods, bad for the economy, bad for the people in the cars" and they'll just go "But I like my car" as if that refutes anything at all)
