If you want to “hear all voices in the conversation” you do it scientifically, through a study (survey, poll, focus group). Not through a random anonymous comment.

The talk does talk about a substantial (minority) percentage of the population that didn’t like the change (and many oppose any change, even if it is for the better).

And for the sake of giving everybody a voice, here is mine: I never had a desire to visit Albania. After seeing all these colorful and unique buildings I would definitely consider visiting.

After publishing this piece, I got an email in my inbox from a woman who lives in Tirana and has a very different view of the painting of her city. Because I feel it’s important to hear all voices in a conversation, here is a snippet:

“I saw a post of yours about Tirana in TED. I hope you visit Tirana someday and see how those bright, multicolored buildings really look … Ask anyone in Tirana, if they are happy with the ‘look’ of the city, and the answer you get is ‘I want my city back! ‘ Seen from the eyes of a student living abroad and who has travelled a lot, it looks extremely ugly. I can assure you it is nothing close to Riomaggiore or Willemstad.”
