Reply to comment by freecain in Hate how the running marathon is BLASTING music right now near inner harbor… freaking 8AM on a Saturday - let me sleep!!! by [deleted]

  1. of developed nations which would even be holding marathons we are much higher up - and even when considering all-in, to be in the top 1/3 of density is considerable

  2. should other countries that do dumb things be considered role models? If so, when are other countries going to adopt our gun policies

  3. what infrastructure is in place already for events like burning man? Why isn’t that hosted in the downtown area of a major city? If that many ppl are coming from so far away that running for a few hours requires a city’s worth of infrastructure, maybe it’s really selfish and economically moronic to shut down the entire city for a day so that a few hundred people who choose to live somewhere inconveniently located can still expect to majorly inconvenience hundreds of thousands of people who didn’t choose to live in the middle of nowhere

1 most countries host marathons, not just the richest.

2 Just pointing out there is probably a reason the majority of marathons are I'm City centers or are small.

3 Burning man is 9 days long, and incredibly expensive to attend since you have to mostly self cater. There are marathons like this (remote and self reliant) but can only host so many runners.

4 it doesn't shut down the city for the day, most have cut offs for runners by early afternoon and a lot of the course opens up after the runners go by.
