The best part about new 21st century cities being built from scratch is kindergarten for tenure with primary services.
Resetting tenure for a new century solves 99% of the problems with trying to build on-top of inefficiency (schools, public utilities, local government, etc).
Toronto would have been better off with a sister city, developing a DFW-like economic area for the future instead of accelerating urban rot.
Sorry I missed this, but am on a first-time trip to a rain forest in America, so my perspective may be temporarily biased (the air is phenomenal and the ASMR soundtrack is better than atmos fwiw).
Instead of "condescending", its probably just a clean canvas imbued with natural growth cycles (hence kindergarten, with nothing in-place to resist).
Saying "We the People have evolved" may be a stretch, but tenure and bad math are basic components of the rot-ops/rot-optics of prior innovations.
