High-End Housing Sits On Decaying Cities And We Have Questions

July 09, 2021 in Architecture, Science, The USA

Specifically, Samuel Stein has questions, and his piece in The Baffler is a must read.

I have pointed this out before. In 2014, I wrote:

what we are seeing are overpriced luxury homes being built on top of decaying infrastructure

I don’t think anything will wake-up educated Americans to this fact and want to change anything. I don’t think even Chicago becoming uninhabitable could wake people up. So be it. We’re doomed. And millionaires can enjoy their towers for about 10 more years. Have fun.
