  It's really bad - the underlying pattern of change is tearing down a bunch of buildings an running big highways through the cities.

    You can also see huge blocks of land that used to be dedicated to railways, sidings and rail yards, mostly gone and replaced with large buildings.

    Not to mention the tens of thousands of people evicted from high density buildings and ramping up suburban sprawl. Will that highway, after deducting maintenance and environmental damage, ever hope to recoup the costs in city services from handling low density housing?
