Are you saying there's a building style that's not criticized while it's being built? Could you give an example?
The rest of the paragraph instead focused on people not living Colombus, OH, which I'm not sure how you got to. The primary reason people aren't flocking to Colombus OH is because of the lack of jobs. People tend to flock places because of economic opportunity, not because of architecture.
- reducesuffering 4y agoUmm, people are definitely are flocking to Columbus OH and it's probably because of jobs, it's one of the fastest growing cities in the US. GP was saying they're not going because of architecture, orthogonal to whether they're net migrating or not...
- quacked 4y agoAutomoderator was on me for posting too quickly last night. No, I'm saying that the fact that new styles are always criticized is not implicit proof that all styles eventually become accepted. I will clarify that by "flocking" I meant "visiting". Some people live in cities and towns that are so nice other people want to visit those cities--New York, Paris, Florence, Aix-en-Provence, whatever. This effect is not limited to large cities--there are also smaller towns that people deliberately go and spend vacation time in just to feel a sense of actually appreciating the buildings and paths they're surrounded by. When they're not spending their PTO touring actually nice places, they live in the Modern American City, which is a place to exist while you drive between your apartment box, your job box, and your preferred entertainment center.
