What a predictable top comment for a Hacker News thread. :(

A government website showcases a design that is leaps and bounds ahead of any other government site we can think of, and HN's top comment casually dismisses it.

To rewrite something you said: "This is the perfect example of everything wrong with [HN comments]."

I, for one, am floored that someone in city government was able to rise above the bureaucracy and ship something truly useful and delightful for citizens. I would love nothing more than to meet the people involved and buy them a pint. Well done, guys.
