I didn't accurately gauge how threatening my comments would seem to people; I do not mean to conclude that suburbs are "better" than cities. And I'm not sure I ever said that, or even strongly implied it. But that last one might be open to debate, I can from see re-reading my comments.

I don't understand the eagerness to read the fly-by opinions of people who are hardly expert or even proficient on an issue, or who refuse to think and question in detail. Why would anyone want opt to plop oneself in the middle of volumes of these opinions over knowledgeable and experienced guidance in a discussion?

Further, how can we be expected to make decisions on big things like (as but just one example) how high a building should be when we do not understand or even feel like questioning the smaller components that make up the issue? I knew I had encountered the kind of cheerleading of large ideas without understanding of the components before when I remembered reading the Mayor Bloomberg longevity press release that was passed off as news on blog sites.

Is it too much to ask for this blog to evolve and mature over time? Is it too much to ask for more detail and more questioning? Well, it may be. But still, I put it out there, and persist. Sorry.
