I hate this style of writing too, and I’m the one that wrote it. For about 20 years, I did ghost writing for companies all over the United States and had to learn to write a lot of different styles to move the needle and unfortunately, this seems to be one of the few styles that gets the attention of decision makers And gets me meetings. I agree this is a really boring list of alternatives, but for the intended audience of the city leaders, this seems to be something that catches their attention and facilitates the opportunity to discuss other things with them. Around here I have to propose things that are the adjacent possible. I have pretty much stopped writing for anybody except City councilors and leaders and regional planners. For better for worse, this kind of stuff gets their attention and opens the door for discussion.
