How did you get into neighborhood design beef on Twitter?

Oh, so, I mean, somebody shared a photo of, it was like an aerial photo of some neighborhood in Phoenix, and they were like, how would it, I forget what exactly was, but they're like, how would any human ever want to live here?

I was like, I mean, it looks like kind of a nice neighborhood. Like, people have pools in their backyard. It doesn't have, like, a big highway cutting through it or anything. I street-viewed the neighborhood. There's a bunch of parks in the neighborhood. Like, there's, in street-view, you can see kids playing in the parks like clearly people enjoy this neighborhood

i also looked up like the zillow on it like houses in this in this neighborhood or like people

clearly want to live here from the prices they're paying so i said like you know i don't know

it looks like a nice neighborhood like it looks it looks pretty nice to me and the thing that really

set people off is i said it looked relatively walkable.

And what I mean by that is it's like you can look up the census tract.

It's a density of like 9,000 people per square mile, which is considerably above the U.S. average, right?

And if you look at the street grid, like it's quite compact lots. These are not like half acre

lots or something. They're like quite compact lots. You could very easily walk around. I could

envision my kids going to play at any of the mini parks in the neighborhood. There's a school on the

edge of the neighborhood. Kids could walk to school. But people really were mad that I called this neighborhood walkable.

They were like, nothing in Phoenix is walkable.

It's 110 degrees in the summer.

And I'm like, okay, man.

When I lived in Montreal, it was like negative 10 degrees, 11 months out of the year.

I didn't think that was very walkable either, but whatever.

So, yeah, people didn't like the take.

What, where do you think that's coming from?

What's the underlying impetus of that,

the motivation for them being so upset at you?
