The more and more I read the comments on public forums(popular ones, such as this one and Reddit)- the more I ask myself "why am I doing this to myself?" I think there may be something to taking a step back from knowing what hundr

These kinda of comments seem to be growing in frequency on HN. Why? Who cares what decisions people make? I've lived on acreage in the woods, small towns, suburbs, mid sized cities and urban environments and guess what? The only thing

I remember this being posted years ago. Anyway, I think it's a great write-up. It's one of those things where I don't know why it looks so awful, but I can tell it does- nice to read about why.

I used to work in an office at Cerner where you could see this slide from my floor - really sad when it happened.

The entire KC metro is offensively anti pedestrian and anti cyclist. It is one of the reasons I decided to leave. Fun fact- there are more highway miles per capita in KC than any other city in the US: http://www.publicpurpose.com

I love the USA, but I hate the car culture. The two really do seem inextricable.

Having been someone who has definitely been there, I think you're right. I am far, far more comfortable than I ever could've imagined 10 years ago but I'm not under some delusion that I didn't get at least somewhat lucky

I think tech workers are vastly out of touch with how the majority of Americans are living in this country, but- it is only a suspicion. Indeed, we are fortunate.

And many Democratic voters find the current, establishment of DNC politicians to be delusionally far right of their constituents. See: Bernie, Ocasio-Cortez, and what I believe will be many more Dems with a leaning towards progressive polic

I've found their reviews to be entirely untrustworthy...in fact I try to stick to smaller e-retailers or ordering directly from vendors after research. 2 day shipping ain't worth the cost IMO, even though I know I am in the minori

There's nothing you or I could do about it in any case - other than to put your best foot forward as a global citizen and be as good of a friend and family member as you can, so why stress out about it? I don't necessarily disagre

Agreed. These articles and their following comments all stink to me as boisterous reactionism...the bay area definitely has problems and housing costs are probably the number one problem of all of them, but this is statistical mangling, and
