[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well at least we can all agree on the fact that it’s not about the “missing middle.” Most folks could never afford Old Town.[/quote] Because there's only one Old Town. But we could have more places like Old Town.[/quote] You think we should have more historic districts?[/quote] Huh? Why would a place that is built to be like Old Town, but is not actually Old Town, be a historic district?[/quote] [b]You said we should have more places like Old Town. Old Town is a historic district. Therefore, you said we should have more historic districts.[/b] If that’s not what you meant be more precise in your language next time. A problem with YIMBYism is that you just run around shouting cliches and do very little critical thinking about placemaking. [/quote] You know this logic doesn't track right? You think there should be more politicians like Joe Biden. Joe Biden is an old white man. Therefore you think there should be more old white male politicians. You think there should be more schools like TJ. TJ has a majority asian population. Therefore you think there should be more schools with majority asian populations. Logical fallacy.[/quote] The Old Town poster thinks people want to live there and pay prices because it’s close to mass transit. Probably a reason for some. But probably not and ignores the fact that it a a one-of-kind historically significant neighborhood. That is the logical fallacy. [/quote]
