Property values at the intersection of Black LivesMatter Blvd and ANTIFA Avenue will be massive! The market for those places will be on fire!

Make sure they put up a dead end sign before anyone travels too far down the road to turn around.

So, will our new overlords create a giant, five-block hymenopterous mural all over that stretch of road that will cover all the lane markings and confound commuters into accidents all up and down that stretch?
