A story about a park being closed down because people living near the park complained about the noise of children's voices.

  • Lots of people happy to have a park.
    • I think it's natural and I don't speak up about it.
  • People who think kids in the park are too loud.

  • This structure could be improved by technology that lowers the cost of expressing opinions.
  • A digital technology-based opinion system can be a means of improvement.

It could be said to lower opinion distribution costs.
