I'm workin' on it; I'm workin' on it. :o)
But seriously -- Atlanta has a planning problem. If anything, Atlanta has convinced me that raw market forces make for a mess when it comes to city planning.
I'm a big market-forces guy. But Atlanta shows me that market forces don't make for a well-planned city. Chicago works well. Nice design. CRAPPY state though. Wouldn't live there for love nor money ever again -- especially the former.
New York City f**kin' rocks. Best designed city on the planet, I'd get close to saying. LOVED living there for a couple months. Again, Crappy state.
That's all the cities I know well.
I have relatives in NY City and have been there several times. I've never seen such a trashy, dirty run down depressing place in my life.
Sure there are some nice areas and some really cool happening hot spots...but the majority of the city is disgusting and ugly.
