The JGNES is a syndrome where people look at Raleigh from an educated point of view or a satisfying view, meaning you think Raleigh has enough or lavish things that should benefit everyone,or you think Raleigh shouldn’t have what other cities has which would help us add value. The latter Raleigh shouldn’t have what other cities do I’ll give you an example:
@Fransisco on the
That’s a symptom of the James Goodnight Education Syndrome, so what other cities do is actually a good thing because those cities are adding value by flexing light rail. Another example is James Goodnight himself said he wouldn’t help Steve Malik on MLS (Major League Soccer) because he didn’t vision in this area pro-sports yet the added value to this area. Now I have nothing against him, it’s his money ofc. But what I’m trying to say is we gotta stop doing these educated points of view on cities and copy models of other cities that have been very successful if Raleigh wants some notoriety, then we better stop the numbo-jumbo of worthless community input and surveys no one really takes and start getting aggressive. But people have some reason especially on this forum to dis that progress, or not care too much. And I’m pretty sure some people are gonna respond to this and say something that’s gonna prove my point on this. The reason why Austin is so great is because the followed the model of other big cities, same in Portland, San Diego, Charlotte.
