I see nobody really reads past the point at which they get emotionally jolted.

- shiroiushi 2y agoYou don't know that for sure. There's a bunch of city-hating pro-suburbia people in this discussion who might be downvoting you because they're angry you're calling the US "basically undeveloped". But there may also be many downvotes from the walkable city lovers who read your lengthy first paragraph and didn't get to the second one. Personally, while I agree with your overall point, I think you shouldn't write that way. Expecting people to read a somewhat-long post before getting to the "twist" on an internet forum full of hundreds of posts is a bit much; people aren't reading everything fully here. You need to make your main point in the beginning, then expand on them in the subsequent paragraphs if any.
- big-green-man 2y agoYeah youre probably right, I said something everyone likes and something everyone hates, and so everyone decides they hate the part they hate more than they like the part they like. It doesn't really bother me though. What I said is true in my estimation. I can get to a mountain top in Colorado within a day from a thousand miles away with the last leg of the trip in a two wheel drive Toyota, but I can't get to the taco joint across the highway without getting in my car and driving a half mile to get to a u turn lane. The former is unbelievably fantastic, the latter is inexcusable.
