These housing, anti-car articles posted to HN have a such an emotional and dramatic feel. I'm not saying there isn't any truth to it. But it feels the same as American political propaganda. There's a distinct over-dramatic shrieking to it.
- triter_than 4y agoYup. No matter the cause, it’s the end of the world. In my experience the reason is escalation: you make a reasonable case, respondents argue in over-the-top tones, or in bad faith. Easy to escalate in turn. Eventually it’s impossible to have a moderate opinion, relayed in good faith, and hope to have any effect whatsoever.
