None of this is facts; its all opinions and different criteria for analysis.
Not surprising Urbnanists are classically self important and chauvinistic all you need to do is look at the history of urban planning and urban policy, especially in the 20th century, to see how idiotic most in the thinking has been and how disastrous most of their policies turned out to be. It boggles the mind why anyone would take urban experts seriously given the widespread failure much less the random assholes on this forum, like you and I.
I wrote quite a bit about that very topic in the past.
So yeah I will continue to argue that calling east coast cities rust belt is stupid. And you can stamp your feet about it as much as you want.
