What makes you think that?
- PaulHoule 1y agoThought great Americans cities were "great" when they emerged out of small, medium and large players interacting through markets and other traditional institutions. Thought they were threatened by central planners with big ideas (e.g. Robert Moses) but no respect for the status quo. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Nisbet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Nisbet and the really good book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2421900.Watch_On_The_Right https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2421900.Watch_On_The_Rig... which I didn't read when I was a kid and found it at the public library because the first chapter was about how William F. Buckley was a pompous ass but I came to enjoy as an adult because in later chapters he finds a lot of positive things to say about conservative thinkers 40 years ago when the movement had a better positive/negative ratio.
