I get the same feeling from other such organisations and people. They seem to be focused on aspects that are typically less important to the rest of society.

I get the same feeling from other such organisations and people. They seem to be focused on aspects that are typically less important to the rest of society. The most head-scratching example of this that I've seen was a guy saying that people should move to Chicago because it's underrated and has a decent transportation network. Y-yeah. But that's not the only thing that people consider when they move and let's just say the city itself has a reputation. In my corner of the world there's a lot of putting the cart before the horse in this regard - typically via closing streets for traffic without improving public transport. Net effect is just more congestion because people have places to go regardless how much you reduce "induced demand".
