Backlash was certainly loud, but Amazon could have made things work even without all of the subsidies they received. This is entirely me speculating, but I wonder if Amazon feared …

The distinction is that those types of areas in the US are generally unaffordable to many, and are probably far less safe due to increased car traffic.

Maybe we could use something more readable? What about: if posts.comments??.likes?? or if posts..comments..likes instead of if posts.?comments.?likes That would mirror the usage of…
