Seeing what you want to see

This post is being written entirely for the benefit of one person, so continue reading at your own peril. It is long, pretty boring, and not at all entertaining.

Yesterday I posted a short video which I had edited together the night before. That video pulls several comments from the public opinion survey section (appendix B) of Fairhope’s 2024 Comprehensive Plan. Most of the comments I chose for my video contained the phrase “slow down”. At the end of the video I cut to a close up of the same phrase on my yard sign. Someone on facebook critiqued that video thusly –

I first used the phrase “Let’s slow down…” in 2020, during my first campaign for City Council. I have recently downloaded the 2024 Comprehensive Plan and I’ve been studying it. In the course of doing so I began to search (CTRL – F) for certain words and phrases. I was surprised when I saw that “slow down” appears 26 times in the Comprehensive Plan. I searched for any phrase that would represent a different perspective, and I couldn’t find one. Just to be sure, I wrote a little program to create a table of two-word phrases and their frequency in the Comprehensive Plan…

That table is fascinating to me because it gives us a peek into the thinking of our friends and neighbors. For example, it makes me happy to see that “I love” (75 times) is on the mind of so many people. Scrolling down the list, after “I love”, the next thing that seems to have a point of view is “more parking” (29 times), followed by “stop building” (28 times). You can search the table yourself. For instance, if you type “growth” the first result that expresses an opinion is “slow growth”. If you type “more”, the first result is “no more”.

With a fresh pot of coffee, I went ahead and wrote another program to count the occurrence of three-word-phrases…

Now we’re talking! The phrase “small town feel” is number one, appearing 205 times in the 2024 Fairhope Comprehensive Plan.

To me, all of this data is pointing in one direction, and it is further confirmed by other data in the body of the document –

In an earlier post, I defined three schools of thought regarding the rapid growth of Fairhope –

  • Those unhappy with Fairhope’s current rate of growth
  • Those resigned to it as inevitable
  • Those who think it is a positive good to be encouraged

Looking at the public opinion survey, I’d guess that the first group is maybe 1/3 of the town, the second group is 2/3, and the third group is tiny (perhaps as few as 5 duly elected individuals). If anything, I’m being generous, since the word “inevitable” only appears 6 times in the survey.

I’ve been accused before of confirmation bias, of only seeing what I want to see, but I’m not guilty of that here. My video shows the words of a large group of Fairhopers. We’ll find out how large in less than 3 weeks.

As for your slander of Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse”, tens of millions of Looney Tunes fans would beg to differ.

And PowerPoint? PowerPoint!?! Them’s fightin’ words. If anything bears a resemblance to that chartjunk spewing abomination, it’s the first 196 pages of the Comprehensive Plan (everything before appendix B).

On this particular issue, Edward Tufte is far too gentle.

Thank you Sir for your comment.
