Sorry that the post is probably in the wrong thread but just continuing the dialogue. |
This author doesn't try to debunk Jacobs or anything, he just says many lefties incorrectly use her as an excuse to be anti-change and anti-development (I'm thinking of the anti-gentrification goons who hate when nice shops and condos move in to the inner city). I don't think anyone here uses Jacobs that way. Like, who on this forum is against high-rise towers!? We're talking about cars and their impact on cities which is not something mentioned in this article, at all. This is a good case of why you should read the actual article not just the title.
