What do you think? Is he right? Wrong? Not wrong, but an asshole?
When I see how hard advocates and sympathetic planners have to work in 2023 to get a halfassed facility that would never make it off the drawing board in the Netherlands, it's hard for me to say he's wrong.
The cities the US has now were the result of bulldozing their urban centres to build highways, suburbs, and parking lots. Those were already built too. Why should one be fait accompli and the other be unthinkable?
seems like it would divert an unrealistic amount of construction material for a post-industrial, declining country entering a climate apocalypse to rebuild homes that people already have.
