"Good urbanism should transcend politics. Socialists and capitalists can walk the same neighborhood and agree it's a pleasant place to live. They can each appreciate the tree canopy, the corner café with people spilling onto the sidewalk, the mix of ages on bikes and on foot, the architectural details of older buildings, and so on."
"Prices are signals, not villains. Without outside interference, a price tells builders, buyers, and investors where scarcity exists and what people are willing to trade for something they value."
Good urbanism transcends political divides, with socialists and capitalists alike appreciating pleasant neighborhoods. People across the political spectrum desire safe, accessible, and appealing places for all ages. Unlikely alliances are forming, with various political groups advocating for changes previously seen as fringe. The YIMBY movement exemplifies this collaboration. However, economic views remain contentious, with differing opinions on how economies thrive. While there is consensus on goals like safe transportation and abundant housing, the methods to achieve these ends are debated, emphasizing the importance of understanding price signals in urban development.
