A couple of Jane Jacobs quotes
Don't know which of her books or articles they came from, but I like these:
A culture is unsalvageable if stabilizing forces themselves become ruined and irrelevant. . . The collapse of one sustaining cultural institution enfeebles others, makes it more likely that others will give way . . . until finally the whole enfeebled, intractable contraption collapses.Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.

HE WHO HAS THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES.
And, you can quote me further:
If you don't like the rules, hire the eminence gris of Tulsa zoning codes:
Chas. "Stormin" Norman.
ALL at the TMAPC and the BOA will bow down to the Prince of Darkness.
