The dystopian Pottersville in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is starting to feel less like fiction

I read the title and I didn't want to read it.
I knew what it would say and I didn't want to see it.

Today I read a story of a caring and loving community banding together to stop changes to a building in their community.
You see,
Apparently someone was opening a warming center.

Seeing all of those people put aside their differences to let homeless people freeze. It certainly touched me.

Pottersville is most definitely here.
