It’s responsive because it addresses the pretext of “disinvestment” and other abstractions urbanists like to use to justify their choices. A lot of urbanism boils down to wanting dense, walkable cities with transit, parks, and shopping, but not wanting to live in the myriad such cities that are already like that because of who else lives there. They want the layout and infrastructure of downtown baltimore or center city philadelphia, but with the population of Brookline, MA.
