Its a good thing when Japanese cities were fire and atomic bombed that the Japanese government densified their cities afterwards rather than rebuilding the same thing. Probably why Japanese cities have working class populations in urban areas and the Bay Area doesnt.

You're saying the murder of 225,000 people with the atomic bomb was a "good thing" because of how the city was rebuilt?

Anyways, I knew you'd say that so I got in my Delorean and went back in time to tweet this so that I could discredit this bad take:https://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/736213176040050688 …

What qualifies you as an expert on the politics of reconstruction in post WWII-Japan, and specifically Hiroshima & Nagasaki?

Nothing, I just read a lot about the Marshall plan in Germany, and the reconstruction period during and post Allied occupation of Japan. Not sure why you say "specifically" those cities either.

Although really much of Japan's urban boom happened in the 50's, which isn't WWII related, and the large infrastructure borrowing of the 80's and early 90's, but still... Point is, Japanese planning is superior to the US in like nearly every way.

Point is, you don't actually know much about the land use patterns and laws of pre-WWII Japan or afterward, but you feel compelled to use it as an example to discuss the CA 2017 firestorms.

Whether the left-left wants to acknowledge it or not, a humanitarian disaster is probably the only way that a large quantity of public housing ever gets built in a major US metro. It’s how London got to 1/4-1/5 council/social flats after WWII bombing made sites available.

And Vienna needed WWI to get to the Red Vienna social housing program.

We see large housing projects like Gropiusstadt arise from post war Berlin as well.
