Don't you just love social-political engineers (and I'm loathe to use the term "engineer" here because of my disdain for these "community organizers")?
One sentence that jumped off the page was "Taxes can cut car use". Ah yes, there's nothing we can't do as long as we tax you into the behavior we want.
Do they teach that in psychology courses? I don't recall "Tax Behavior Modification 101" in the general catalog.
Rather than spending their time trying to come up with new ways to make my life miserable and tell me what to do, why don't they apply their resources into building a model city (is the copyright off for Democracity?)somewhere in the wild and build a lot of cardboard palaces and see how their hobo jungle works.
It won't be long before they are controlling emissions by shutting off the power and water and controlling over-population through the judicious use of cholera.
I'd have to go back to the article, was this fellow's name Frederson that postulated the developmen of this utopian metropolis?
I was going to make a parallel to old London but at least the opportunity to get out was available to those that wanted it bad enough, this would be more like another historical setting, and as much as I don't like utilizing the connection because of its overuse, there was that mustachioed scamp in the 3rd and 4th decade of the last century that was remarkable in his efficiency in designing and maintaining communities.
A real community organizer you could say.
Gated communities even.
Maybe the reason all the affluent san fran houseboaters get along and trust each other is because they are all affluent san fran houseboaters. People with similar lifestyles tend to get along. What a thought.
