Of course guilt doesn't have to be rational.
I can also see folks who are severely depressed, bipolar, or other conditions that involve irrationally strong responses to negative stimulus would be impacted by a constant reminder of horror.
I think I agree with the author here - I don’t know I would appreciate my home being marked as the site of an atrocity. Our homes are for the living and the future. It’s good to be aware, and I’m not diminishing the tragedy or the need to keep the memory of it alive to prevent it happening again and to remember the victims. But it feels an awful lot like turning your community into a cemetery, instead of having a cemetery for your community.
In my opinion, people are able to learn to deal with uncomfortable things in their lives.

Don't argue like that. It is very disingenuous.
it makes me feel connected with the history of the place, i don't see it as an "affront". And affront to whom??
