was just at a sermon by bruce katz selling his metro-revolution (really a repackaging of florida’s now largely recanted trickledown “creative” class/warfare) and asked if he has seen anyone/any-city acting to adapt to the new environs (econ, politics, climate, etc) before they get badly hurt by it and he had nothing to offer (hadn’t even considered it), I think we have to work instead on how we might salvage something that doesn’t depend on mass/govt/Inc fore-thinking/planning.
