    I said we should improve city planning and invest in public infrastructure instead or relying exclusively on tech companies to solve our total lack of willpower and imagination in building our physical spaces.

    We invest a shitload in public infrastructure. How the hell do you think we got all of these roads?

    And we have quite a bit of willpower and imagination to build the craziest, most fucked up intersections that will still expand our cities.

      Not just crazy. But glorious and transcendent too. Driving through the enormous multi freeway intersections near Dallas feels like a space age cathedral. Vaults to the heavens, arcs and sweeping forms surround you.

      I imagine future archeologists digging it up and wondering about the religion that built it.
