My comment is the only one using the word &quot;absurd&quot; so I take it you&#x27;re talking about it. Let me try to defend it.<p>I called the title misleading, so I shortly described the gist of it. I also opined it&#x27;s absurd because the idea doesn&#x27;t seem to have been thought through (because of the large amount of space dedicated to bikes, as I wrote). This was just a warning to other readers, so they aren&#x27;t baited like I was.<p>Notice that even the submitter (geezsundries) wrote &quot;I&#x27;m confused as to why they created bike paths in apartment building hallways.&quot; This really isn&#x27;t a good submission.<p>In my opinion, you&#x27;re just picking the wrong article to seek great discussions about bikes and city planning. I&#x27;m looking for the same but this thread isn&#x27;t the place. When the reporting is done by someone who&#x27;s just trying to grab pageviews cheaply on someone else&#x27;s bad content, then comments will be mostly negative. If it was a &quot;Show HN&quot; by someone who&#x27;s poured reasonable effort, then negative comments would be more significant to gauge gratuicious negativity.
