An HN member suggests that someone may just not enjoy urban living, and your response is to relate that suggestion to lawlessness and wanton murder. Their logic isn't scary at all, it's not even the slightest bit unusual; your response however, is extremely bizarre and off kilter.

While I do not regard it as an accurate view of cities, I also do not regard it as “extremely bizarre and off kilter” — I have noticed similar patterns of hyperbolic anti-city thoughts amongst many people who prefer rural areas to cities.

Their logic is wrong.

I don't live in a city.

We should strive to reform the parking ticket system, not spite ourselves and move out of cities.

The real way to reform the parking ticket system is to remove cars from cities.
