Ignoring a cost-benefit analysis and attacking the motivations of people who don't agree with you is a good way to ensure no constructive discussion takes place.
- s73ver_ 9y agoReducing the ability of people to participate in society at all to a cost-benefit analysis is even less constructive, and does nothing more than to dehumanize the less able bodied.
- CydeWeys 9y agoYou didn't perform a cost-benefit analysis though. You simply asserted that it is "obviously so" that spending money on infrastructure isn't worthwhile. Here's some counter-evidence: It doesn't cost anything more to include proper curb cuts and such when the sidewalk is first built. The stadium infrastructure in the linked article post-dates ADA legislation requiring such, and yet was simply not built properly.
- philh 9y ago> You simply asserted that it is "obviously so" that spending money on infrastructure isn't worthwhile. This is just false. The only use of "obvious" was in the line > We would never consider building ramps everywhere for strollers or suitcases because the benefits are just obviously not worth the cost. Which is not even close to how you describe it.
