On a positive note, I actually think a lot of people are starting to notice how poorly we’ve designed/re-designed most cities in the U.S., even NYC. It’s true that we’ve built places that actively discourage community, and as a result the most expensive/desirable places to live are usually the places that have parks, local businesses, and are walkable/bikeable. However, there’s a lot of growing awareness about this problem these days and I think that’s the first step - I just hope people start to take action too.
Love how you articulated this!
