Text links disguised as a rant about L.A.?

A writer for the Huffington Post site about New York City has put up a post complaining about ways in which her city is allegedly becoming too much like Los Angeles. The offenses that make New York like Los Angeles: Hotels that offer too much to do without leaving the building, a seating area in Times Square, and too many bike lanes in Manhattan. In addition to being shall we say thin on the content side, the post feels suspiciously like an excuse to link to hotels websites. And, oh what's this, four links to a NYC website the author of the post herself founded.
