I wonder if I'm out of step with today's urbanism, or today's urbanism has moved away from the issues I care about. Sadly, however, I left the event feeling more irrelevant than in any urbanist discussion before in my life. The Midwest, or Rust Belt, or Heartland, whatever you want to call it, doesn’t have the high housing price tags of the coasts. I mentioned that from my perspective, what we were discussing were problems related to the success of post-industrial coastal cities over the last 40 years. There’s success in Rust Belt cities, but plenty of failure that prevents the region from fulfilling its economic potential.
