The conclusion of the article states that the place does indeed have a soul. The soul of any place is defined by the people that populate it and not some outsiders expectations of its aesthetics. Did you only look at the pictures, dipshit?

Um, yeah, maybe you missed this, Mr. Rogers.
"At the macro level is is a souless town. A patchwork of cocooned gated communities connected by brutal “transportation!”
In many ways it is the first step towards the hated and roundly mocked future our politicians seem to want for us. One where plebes live in pods watching content, while hooked up to a bug slurry IV. But instead of bug slurry, it is Buffalo Wild Wings, which you have to drive to first before it can be injected into you.
Everyone involved — city planners, the politicians, Disney, developers — have done their best to make Orlando a place devoid of organic community. They have done their best to build a city that squeezes out the human soul."

"When I spoke with the developer of Serenbe, an affluent community outside Atlanta being built on traditional town design principles, he told me that the public investment required to build in that way offers a 60% savings over conventional suburbia. Let me stress that: Urbanism is substantially cheaper to build than suburbia. (So why is Serenbe an affluent community? If you've been reading this far, you know the answer.)"

It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

Zillow's problem was hubris.
Zuckerberg can collect all of the data in existence, but will never feel the simple joys of being human.

Collecting data is the easy part, knowing what to do with it is still shockingly rare.

If this is to be believed

they had the data, they knew what to do with it, but management wanted to show more growth than they could get and so pushed them to do dumb shit. Which is all to common, and more desperation than hubris.

Chasing quarterly numbers at the expense of your long term success is a classic failure of public companies.

Zillow CEO should be fired. Surprised that hasn't happened yet.

Meanwhile, in Bellingham, we had another swing and a miss in our long-running attempt to buy a house there; we lost to a cash offer that was in the neighborhood of 12% over asking. But hey, on the bright side, at least I don't need to change my TGR handle.

Why do you want to move to Bellingham so bad? I understand wanting to leave PDX but Bellingham seems like a lateral move to me?
