Let's face it, most of these new developments are play-spaces for suburbanites to experience urban verisimilitude without giving up their cars and mammon-hoarding. They also don't need to be bugged by speech or art that is unconventional, or the reality of the homeless. Places like PortlandOR, DC, Vancouver, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, SF, NYC, Philly, Boston, etc. are urban because they accept reality, not wall themselves off from it. Members of this community destroyed a brilliant artwork in the Burlington industries building for more bourgeois consumerism. Any true city would have saved that iconic building and demanded that new shopping areas be done in denser areas that are actually in need of redevelopment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
