It is certainly implied by your refusal to share it. At this point I'd just find it weird if it did exist, I mean who claims to have data, actually does have it but just refuses to share it across multiple replies? That's weirder than just making it up to begin with. Still, if by some odd chance this data that literally measures how connected people are to their neighborhood and shows, in your exact words, "most people are disconnected", I think myself and others would find that very interesting. That's a very specific claim on a metric pretty hard to quantify, so if such data exists I think it would be fascinating to read.

A few replies ago when I first asked if you'd share, you said "Happy to to", and then didn't. And then didn't again. And didn't again after that.

It either doesn't exist at all, or it does but doesn't show what you claim it does and you've realized that and don't want to look silly, or you're just maybe not that polite. I can't tell which. I'll say again though, asking for data when one person claims to have it is not hostile and not an abnormal request. If you claim to have data that shows a specific point you should be prepared to share it on request, and probably just include it in your initial remarks to begin with. Citing sources, and all.

I'll reply again if you have any actual data to share, otherwise I think this conversation is pretty much purposeless.

So there is no data, got it. You could have saved us some time by just not claiming to have data in the first place.

Since there is no data, this basically comes down to something that is purely a matter of personal preference and opinion. I am a fan of buildings like this, I live in one myself and it's the best place I've lived in this city. I think the design for this new one looks pretty great and will make a good addition to the neighborhood.

If you had some sort of study with data that literally showed people who live in a particular type of building are "less connected", I would find that pretty interesting. It probably wouldn't change my overall opinion on the building, but it might sway other people and would be worth considering. As you've indicated though, the data doesn't seem to actually exist, so it's not really relevant.

For future reference, when one person claims to have data, other people asking to see it is not a weird or hostile request.

I'm not trolling you when I say you might consider studying these subjects in college. I saw another comment that you're a teenager. You clearly have a lot of interest in this sort of thing, but I hate to tell you the notions you're proposing are so unrealistic as to essentially be science fiction. A pedestrian tunnel is extraordinarily implausible and is not something that would ever happen. Study these things for a few years though and you might come up with some genuine ideas, but I think you'll find your old posts here a bit embarrassing. (All adults are embarrassed by their teenage antics, so don't worry about that.)

u/D_Empire412, what is up with your obsession with completely impossible transit ideas for this subreddit?

This isn't even all of them because it is only from the past 5 months and you almost always post the same zany ideas in at least 2 other subreddits.

What is this? I mean really? Is it a long-term prank, like Andy Kaufman or Nathan Fielder? If so, bravo.

If it's real, it's pretty clear to anyone who reads your posts that you either have zero knowledge of transportation, engineering, and budgets or that you come from an alternate dimension where the laws of physics and economy are completely different.

If it's real, would you consider going to college to study these matters for a few years before posting about it again? You clearly have an interest in the matter but have no actual knowledge or realistic conception of how any of it works, but this could be solved by a degree or two.

If it's a prank I've got to hand it to you, I appreciate the commitment.
