By your reasoning, we should get rid of modern medicine because some patients can't be saved. My great-grandfather died of blood poisoning from a tooth abscess; I'm guessing you'd enjoy sharing his fate?
The suburban sprawl is made up of McMansions built mere feet from each other yet 5 miles away from the nearest store, with petty tyrants and control freaks running home owners associations.
Whereas in Stockholm, my flat is within 5-15 minutes walk of several grocery stores, various shops, schools, daycare centres, restaurants, cafés, 2 clinics, at least 2 dentist's offices, a public library, a subway station, a bus station,...and a big forest preserve containing two lakes.
a) Driving up desirability of location- thus helping your property value
One day soon, I'll be laughing at these numbskulls all the way to the bank--literally. Seems the value of my flat in Stockholm has more than doubled in less than ten years, largely due to its proximity to the subway and bus lines...
I totally agree. Now go to the next step. In this context what is "rocking the boat"? You haven't really thought this through have you.
From the viewpoint of coal and oil producers who've been making billions by externalising the true costs of their products, anything that might curtail that certainly qualifies as "rocking the boat". Thanks for playing!
Search for a long-lost friend and BOOM you are connected forever.
Are you sure this is always desirable? Coming up with instances in which it isn't should be a trivial exercise.
If you are old enough to remember manually keeping an address book up to date, then you are old enough to remember how freeing it felt to be relieved of this responsibility.
The FSB still employ typewriters for sensitive records, and I still keep my address book on paper. I'm not especially interested in anyone other than myself knowing who all my contacts are.
Russian support was explicitly pretending to be homegrown American support. So naturally, you wouldn't expect to see much from Russia, nor recognize it as such.

IOW sort of like a train except about 1000 times more expensive, 100 times more complicated, and 1000 times less efficient.

I believe the aphorism you're looking for is, "Penny-wise and pound-foolish."

TL;DR: Perfect is not the enemy of good.
You left out something:

Suburban sprawl happens because Americans have been conditioned to exercise their "freedom" to spend countless hours of their lives trapped in little wheeled boxes travelling at the breakneck speed of 5 MPH down long strips of asphalt.

It's not the scientists who are spending billions to sponsor climate change denial.
But if you're one of their nationals and you commit murder in the US, they'll be quite happy to help you evade justice.
And then we could party like it's 1999.

So you don't know the difference between a counterattack and starting a war. Anything else you'd like to share?
Russian support was explicitly pretending to be homegrown American support. So naturally, you wouldn't expect to see much from Russia, nor recognize it as such.
Indeed, examples abound in this very discussion.
WT is not even wrong. Feel free to try again, though.
Obvious turnabout troll is obvious.
Perfect example of disinfo from someone who doubtless posted lots of "SHE'LL START A WAR WITH RUSIIA" trolls in October/November 2016.
We could, you know, actually do something about poverty?
Yes, I am going to keep posting this until you knot-heads get it.
This is the best that you can come up with for the new party line? "Net neutrality is a Russian plot to destroy the Internet"? That's not even clever.
Isn't that the spec that's 6,000+ pages of gems like, "blah blah blah: Display this the way Office 98 did; blah blah blah: Display it the way Office 2K did;..." because Microsoft could not or would not definitively describe the behaviour of their own products?
Hugging. Please use Hugging.
No.
Right, because that worked out so well last time...
You are a fucking moron.
