33. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, mostly

But that sort of thing takes a long time and planning, not the ad hoc way our cities are put together. We also don't live in a dictatorship, were someone can do as they please.

Adding those sorts of things to homes and laying pipe would be immensely expensive, first just laying the pipe and then hooking up homes to the pipes which don't have them already.

"Au contraire, there is plenty of fucking piping for semi-clean water. Virtually all of it devoted to throwing such water away."

And all of them connected to the sewage system. So how do you propose to separate the semi-clean from the not clean i.e. toilet water? There's also the matter of treatment. A lot of the water coming into the sewage system has to be treated, since it has all sorts of shit in it. What is the standard? and what if someone drinks from it?
