What's driving the fare hike outrage

Mining activity is eating through Shurugwi's residential land faster than the town council can keep up, and the housing crunch is getting critical.
Shurugwi's land shortage explained
Shurugwi Town Council is nearly out of developable land, and mining operations are a big part of why.
