>Again, you keep acting like I'm defending NYC when I'm simply saying that clean streets are not a worthy tradeoff for a loss of civil rights for lgbt people.

And I've also never said anything of the sort. I have never suggested that it was necessary or correct for us to trade our stance on LGBT rights in this city for anything.

All you've done since the start of our exchange is try your best to stuff words in my mouth so you can argue against strawmen and act disingenuously sanctimoniously.

>Just admit that you don't prioritize equal rights for LGBT people instead of hemming and hawing about how Singapore isn't so bad.

LGBT rights are important to me, which is, again, why I live here and not in Singapore (among other reasons). I continue to maintain that there are things that we can learn from them regarding spending - and that's it's not necessary for us to compromise our stance on LGBT rights to do so.

And, just to revisit this line:

>you keep acting like I'm defending NYC

This whole offensive has been nothing but a huge "whatabout" attempted distraction to try to cram things I never said into my mouth and present garbage rhetorical devices to distract from the concept that NYC has areas in which taxpayers do not get their money's worth.

We can absolutely learn some things from Singapore. We don't need to be and shouldn't be exactly like them in every way, but we can absolutely learn things from them in terms of spending and quality of life.

Edit: It's been fun, but considering the direction of our conversations so far, I'm getting pretty tired of arguing with someone whose only interest is in being disingenuous. Have fun with whatever strawman you were planning to come up with next.
