You are being facetious and I don't expect you care much about this issue.

You also clearly didn't read the article, which conveyed minority areas in Austin (east/northeast, north central) lack park spaces, especially the hike and bike trails which have mostly been built in areas undergoing gentrification.

The inequity here is around ease of access, not segregation - apparently that's a problem for you.

Right there with you - AP history/English team taught class in HS. Block scheduling meant I had that course 90 minutes a day for an entire school year. At least 2x 60min essays per week, 2-4 pages hand written.

For all you kids out there just remember 5 things: Intro, social, economic, political reasons, and close it off with a nice quote in a closing paragraph.

Hated it at the time, but so glad I did it!

Nobody asked for your experienced opinion. You realize you are on Reddit right? Nobody is contracting you for this particular investigation. Great, the OC was probably wrong in his assessment. Once again, why does it bother you so much that you have to act like this? Just take the L and move on knowing you were right but nobody likes how you act anyway

>What should I say when I want to make a statement about all french people collectively?

In your question you literally just did it without saying the more dehumanizing "the French". So... "French people" by your own example. "All french people"... "Some french people"... just a few ways to not use "the".

I am fun.

My whole point was that without being there and looking at the evidence, it's pointless to say what caused it or start pointing fingers. Nowhere did I give my take as a 100% correct. I gave options for potential causes that it could be from a broken pipe or from weather-related drainage issues. I also gave the opinion that it is of course location dependent, but blaming the city for not wanting to take responsibility was ridiculous at this point given the lack of investigation details.

But hey, if offering my experienced opinion and calling out an armchair skeptic who automatically blames the city with zero evidence gives me down votes, no worries, I'll take them all day long.

You seem fun

Maybe people are downvoting you because you called the OC "redditor water erosion expert" and then proceeded to act like your take on this is 100% correct and got indignant towards downvotes when the investigation for this event is ongoing and in a city you do not live in. I would recommend going outside and taking a breath of fresh air, I too live in seattle the air is quite good quality

In the us we also have a problem with ice cream. It has to contain at least 10% of milk fat, and ice cream must have no more than 100% overrun and weigh no less than 4.5 lbs. per gallon. Anything lower is labeled as a frozen dairy dessert. The frozen dairy dessert ice cream is a few dollars cheaper, and 100%+ overrun, resulting in a lot of fluff and no substance.
