It’s funny how judgemental people get at people who try to incentivize change when they don’t make their message flowery and with padded corners. It’s called tone policing and it’s what they used to do during the civil rights movements to try and debase the messages of activists.
This is not at all what I was saying, and I did not in fact give my full opinion. Based on his recent posts that don’t even have anything to do with city planning, he’s been kind of a dick and lashing out at people. No need to look any deeper than my actual words.
Personally, I think telling Americans to move and give up is a pretty bad message. I certainly get his frustration, but change has to start somewhere, even if I don’t see the results on my lifetime.

yes maybe if we just asked nicely the oncoming ecological apocalypse could be averted.
Isn’t his statement that he’s explicitly not trying to incentivize change?
