14. who wants to live in an urban slum?
Profit or not, its not the choice of anyone with a choice. Community is for
a world where civility rules and inner cities have long past in to the criminal
underworld. Then do you choose to live there, or just say that someone else
wants to stay in a slum to preserve a sense of community... and if someone does,
they can move there, like some people on this thread.

Are we designing a future we ourselves could not have survived in, one in which
we do not live, have never lived and fantasize that some kid down the road will
find it realistic for the planet to have 9 billion cars, when the average
temperature in san francisco is 110 degrees, and a smog belt surrounds the planet
from a failed attempt to cool the atmosphere.

We chould chain people to their houses and arm them with nuclear weapons, to see
who when so anchored goes insane, and then the good neighborhoods will be the ones
without radiation, and it will be more obvious...

The elite's cynical vision that lower classes want to live in crowded anti-private
prison spaces, is wondering to the nature of the animal, and surely even the lowliest
slave in soylent green wanted to live near a bit of nature, some open ground, something
untrammelled by grotty automobiles.
