If you want the cities to look like they did in the 1950s, you will need .gov to have the same role it had in the 1950s.
Life is simple when you know the rules.
As someone who has lived a good part of his life in and around cities. I would not want to return to the 1950s. We need a better agenda for the 2020s centered on more effective/responsive government, privatization of services where effective (airports are a good start), effective policing and lack of tolerance for sleeping and defecating in our streets.
