Listen to me very carefully: charity is when you spend your own money to help someone else. When you ask other people to spend their money to permanently increase the equity of your investment property... that is not charity. She apparently owns multiple rental properties (including Section 8 housing collecting guaranteed, taxpayer-funded rent), takes ski trips, has a vacation home she Airbnbs out. "I won't allow anonymous strangers to make me ashamed of having a generous heart." I don't think you have a generous heart. You seem to have a generous mouth and deep pockets. If you actually gave a solitary, flying fuck about those kids having a safe place to play, the fence would already be built. You would have paid for it out of the rental income you’re already extracting from the state. Instead, you tried to crowd-source a property upgrade. Take your "generosity," pack it in your ski gear and fuck all the way off.
