The plank they have now is a laminate. When you say it will be more expensive, it's literally just a chunk of plywood. Changing wood types partway through would be enough to indicate wear.
This is a solved problem, and is absolutely not expensive.

My dude, you're missing about thirty years of history.
Redlining was made illegal by the Fair Housing Act in the late 60's. It may have still existed in some fucked up form but it was no longer the standard by which lending was done. There's a reason the rate of home ownership among Black people has steadily risen ever since, and yet it still isn't close to any other group of people.
The whole system is fucked and it's largely set up to fuck Black people because some mayo motherfuckers still want to own humans.
I did renovations for a while and everyone I sold new windows to I tried my damnedest to get them away from the mullions. At the very least some companies now do mullions that are sandwiched between the panes on double pane windows. If you need to have that "I can't see shit" look then that's fine. I guess.
But they're bad. So bad.
No, it's not a fucking farce you just have minimal knowledge of how this shit works. Which why the fuck would you be lame enough to know it?
So here's how it works, because I AM that lame...
A trademark can apply to any number of limited areas. It can be limited to a geographical region, it can be limited to industry, it can be limited to a specific service, it can be limited to a specific product.
If I start a restaurant called "McBurgerPlace" in NYC and it turns out there's already a McBurgerPlace in San Francisco... well it doesn't matter because the San Francisco McBurgerPlace only has one location. They may have a trademark on the name, but infringement of a mark hinges on the concept of confusion in the marketplace. Will someone reasonably confuse MBPNYC with MBPSF? The answer is no. They're on opposite sides of the country, in different markets, serving different menus. There's no infringement because the market for each is limited to their nearby geographic region. Let's say I'm better at burgers. I start to expand. Soon, I operate 363,824 MBP restaurants worldwide. I am the king of food. Except that I'm not. I can't break into the Bay Area. Why can't I? Because that's MBPSF's territory. They were there first. They had the trademark prior to my registration. As such, I cannot enter that market with that name. Doing so would threaten their mark and lead to a lawsuit that I would almost certainly lose. It would be much easier to just rename my restaurants in that area BcPlurgerMace and get on with life.
This exact thing happened to Burger King. https://www.businessmatters925.com/post/burger-king-vs-burger-king-trademark-infringement-case-study
Look at a local business directory and see how many places are named "Five Star." Laundry, plumbing, electric, movers, etc. You can have that many "Five Star" businesses because they operate in different market segments. Nobody is going to call Five Star Plumbing thinking they're actually calling Five Star Movers. There's no competition. There is no dilution of the mark. There is no infringement.
Trademark and IP law is fucking stupid unless you're a goddamn moron and waste considerable amounts of your life reading way too much about it. For money. Because it's your job.
Life Pro Tip: Don't be a paralegal.
Those folks.
Now how about the rest of your player base?
And yet your cunt ass cares enough to post.
So you're a hypocritical cunt, not just a normal cunt.
Idiots like you are why systemic racism persists.
Fuck off.
Yeah, sure, it was that one thing that one time in that one game that people laughed at. That was it. It totally wasn't the success of microtransations on mobile devices, with people paying real money for five second clips of MIDI versions of popular song or anything like that.
Come the fuck on.
Detroit will never rise above "COMPLETE HOLE" status until they unfuck public transportation. I'd like to visit but I don't drive so what's the point? See a five block area around downtown?
Okay, that's one video. Now do the 1500 or so others with minimal information.
His videos have devolved to the level of a low effort shitpost.
