clickbait


I agree, but it's better to add more details. (All titles are clickbait.) Let's try:

The takeaway in the articles are unrealistic:

1) You can't force everyone to follow centralized instructions.

2) If you ban parking in the streets people will be unhappy. The plan should explain how the Major of the city is not fired.

3) I don't understand how electric car can solve the traffic jams.

4) I agree that a good model of the trafic of the city will be extremely useful. The problem is to construct a good model. Just saying "let's build a model" doesn't solve anything.


care to elaborate?
