Solving Saulter: Cognitive Dissonance

I’m having a bit of a crisis of confidence after the most recent survey of Saulter. The assumption I’ve always had is based on a series of conclusions:

• Homewood is a city of loosely connected neighborhoods
• Homewood residents seek to enjoy the city as pedestrians
• Higher speed / higher volume automobile traffic prevents residents from fully enjoying their neighborhoods

Cognitive dissonance is when you have an understanding, but you are presented with data that contradicts that understanding. For me, the survey data is that contradicting evidence. My new phrase will be:

If you are limited by the enjoyment of your neighborhood due to automobile speed and volume, no one cares except you.
