Daniel Burnham's 1909 vision of a grand civic plaza at Congress and Halsted in Chicago
I think it tells you everything you need to know about the past American century that Chicago was supposed to have a grand central plaza anchored by a 560 ft tall ornate civic center building but instead that site is now a giant highway interchange they named after the country's first woman mayor

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."
John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."
who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

After seeing the enshitification and fallout from Uber, Facebook, Twitter, the "gig economy," rent fixing software, Elon Musk generally - and what they have done to San Francisco specifically - I'm pretty sure I'd pay to never have to hear anything ever again from any tech leaders.
