Half agree.
We need to rethink the concept of city. If we don't do that we'll end up with ghettos. But if we do and implement the transformation then we'll develop something more desirable than conglomerate of various businesses. A center of a town can very well be vibrant and inspiring without most businesses if the resulting free real estate is repurposed by galleries, theaters, restaurants, parks etc.
But we won't in the near term. This will just start to happen after all other options have crumbled and one option will still be to just hold empty housing and real estate for the purpose of mere speculation. I'm pessimistic.
