      ...it's playing out like a script. Loosely speaking: "pro-driving" side arguing against it, "pro-cities" side boosting it.

      In other words--it's intensifying differences that already exist, rehashing arguments that've already been had a thousand times...

      ...accomplishing nothing, convincing nobody, winning no converts. I think the negative, complaining tone is a big factor there too.

      Compare this with my train tweets...not as much interaction (on any *one* tweet; more interaction overall), but...

      ...they show things people haven't seen before, provoke questions that don't get asked--they have a positive tone, a contagious enthusiasm.

      If you're trying to shift culture, scolding or complaining won't ever work--and neither will trotting out tired old talking points.

      Be refreshing, satisfying, exciting, unprecedented--and maybe it will work in the end.

      What I’m trying to figure out: how do you get failing exurbia/suburb people to repopulate small regional cities.

      Could be I’m not deep enough in urbanism, but I see a lot of stuff about densifying mega-cities. Make NY into Tokyo stuff.

      making NY into Tokyo would mean way more single family houses and way fewer apartment blocks...but I digress...

          ...the problem is that large cities keep growing b/c people want/need to live there

          as Tokyo grew, cities in Tohoku stagnated and shrank--the Shinkansen helped turn the tide, but by converting those cities...

          ...into "parts," in a sense, of Tokyo--not by provoking real local development. The same would happen here, take Troy:

          Troy is decaying because it doesn't have a productive economy of its own; NYC does have such an economy. So ppl move to NYC...
