This is blogspam, by the way. If you click through to the Treehugger article you'll get a link here -- http://www.originalgreen.org/blog/costs-of-sprawl---the-speed.html http://www.originalgreen.org/blog/costs-of-sprawl---the-spee... -- which appears to be the original article.
It has more to say, as well, than just some sort of dopey "Atlanta should replace its highways with Duomos" argument.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoIt is not "blogspam". Streetsblog is a well-known and valuable site that rounds up links from related sites into a once-daily post.
- chasing 10y agoSomeone posted a blog post to Hacker News which summarized another summary of an original article -- and neither summary adds any thought to the original idea. In fact, they strip the original article down to a single idea and attempt to make it as outrageous as possible. Blogspam?
- thescriptkiddie 10y agoIt doesn't matter if it is a good blog. Any time a blog links to another blog is blogspam. Blogspam is fine in some contexts — it's a great way to share articles between communities that would otherwise be unconnected — but it doesn't belong on a link aggregator like Hacker News. It's mandatory to always link to the original article.
- Declanomous 10y agoRelated note: representing information with a red and green overlay is completely useless to 6% of men in the general population, and up to 8% of men in certain European ancestries. I cannot tell what is going on in the graphs on this page, and I have a comparatively mild form of red-green colorblindness.
