Is city-data that bad?

Relative to this forum on a good day, yes. There's a lot more inflammatory rhetoric and disagreements between users, and the average post is of considerably lower quality.
First thing I see is someone saying Illinois needs a Department of Government Efficiency. I think I'll take your word for it even if I didn't click on any threads.

Sounds like they need to be introduced to "Illinois is flat" and the "Hypotenuse."

I'll email governor Pritzker and tell him to sign an EO declaring Illinois flat plus he needs to ask the feds for money to built the Hypotenuse

There's a lot more inflammatory rhetoric and disagreements between users, and the average post is of considerably lower quality... in part because it covers a much broader range of subjects and appeals to a much broader user base, so there's less sense of community.

Sounds like the original board that spawned the creation of this forum in the first place (I forgot the name of it, but it was pretty awful sometimes).

I enjoyed stuff like that and all sorts of middle twentieth century future tech things as a kid.  While they at times have quaint value as an entertainment pieces much of it just doesn't line up with reality. 

I mean hey, I'm more interested in actual road items.  I spent two hours last night recording a podcast on the history of Interstate 5 and wrote three highway articles today (which nobody else has covered BTW).  The magnitude of what was going with NV 85 also started becoming apparent to me when I began my cursory look into it. 

You keep wanting to defend this futurist kick you're on and keep missing the point that this is roads forum.  I guess I'm kind of amused that you randomly want to reopen debate with me.  I'm not the one who was giving you crap today for over posting about random things.  All the same, who is coming to your defense?  How does the mass of forum members saying you are being a problem not resonate with you?
