How silly of me not to include "public golf parks", Italian town squares, and Singapore in a discussion about America. But then, there's nothing surprising about someone so privileged they can travel the globe having a loose grip on the reality being faced by most of the country.
- nix23 6y agoI don't know in which shit-place you live, but the rest of the world loves parks. Homeless People in public library? Maybe ask your Government why that is.
- suduudeueu 6y ago"The rest of the world" isn't the topic.
- nix23 6y agoEveryone else but you....better?
- suduudeueu 6y agoGrammatically yes, in terms of relevance to the topic no.
- awiesenhofer 6y agowell actually it is, a pandemic is by definition a global event, the shift to WFH/remote happens globally too
- justinclift 6y agoNot sure why you're thinking that? HN audience is definitely global.
- rdtwo 6y agoBecause public institutions aren’t allowed to have decency standards in this country.
- fxtentacle 6y agoMy point was that parks can be truly good for the community. If that is not true for some parks in some parts of America, that seems more like a local problem to be fixed, rather than an issue with parks in general. In case you're not aware, there's plenty of people in the US who dislike the "all concrete walls" look of suburbia and instead would prefer more communal living areas - even within big cities - to be modeled after Italy or Singapore. So it makes a lot of sense to look at Singapore, even if you don't travel there yourself, for inspiration on how to combine skyscrapers and nature to make residents happy.
