I think it must be recognized that cities are synonymous with civilization. But something in our prevailing mode makes them rotten. I've not seen any deep thinking on the matter.
Conservative NPCs like to kvetch how many years a given liberal shithole had a Democrat mayor. But they are completely silent on their complete inability to make a positive change. Rudy Juliani only made NYC relatively safe, but not safe, and he didn't cure it. In Albuquerque, ART and road diet were initiated by the notionally Republican Berry administration. Where is your god now?
So far the best I was able to read was Joel Kotkin finding the soul of suburbs. But that's not enough. It's not uncovering the systemic truths.
