Good cities can't exist without public order


Anarchy or urbanism: You must choose one.

Note: I apologize for slightly sparse posting this week — I sliced my thumb very badly the other day while opening a box, and it has been difficult to type. But I think places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, Miami, and Philadelphia can move enough in that direction to make a big difference in America’s quality of life, and probably in our economic productivity as well. But when I suggest these policies to conservatives, or even just to politically neutral NIMBY types, the response I always get is that Japan and Europe can have nice cities because they have public order.
