Too long, too preachy
This is a discussion board, not a oratorium.
You have mounted the platform, pulled out your megaphone, and you are telling your neighbors what you want them to hear. However, the neighbors might prefer silence, so maybe they will call the town authorities to report you for disturbing the peace.
Instead, why not try inviting your neighbors into your back yard where they can sit around for conversation and coffee.
See if you can shorten your OP, and present it as a discussion topic instead of a sermon. For that, you will need to have some clearly expressed ideas to discuss, and your OP should hint at the position you will attempt to defend on these ideas.
