Very skeptical of the urbanist wonks. In evangelizing the walkable built form (which doesn't have to occur at the city scale) they're often (knowing!) foot soldiers for globalist capitalists interests. Distrust!

I'm sure we'll transcend the class system too

It's funny you mention that because I think saying cities break down barriers to entry is reliant on an egalitarian class structure in cities, which is not at all the case. Nowhere is more economically stratified. It leads back to my original question, who is this for? Not me.

No, not at all--the wealth-building effect of cities has never depended on egalitarian class structure, and almost always occurs without it
-
you're totally right that American cities are not "for you" or most other people...because they have extremely high barriers to entry; they are not places for most people to "make it"
