If the problem didn't exist people wouldn't be burning down cities.
The trick is in what we do about it.
The thing about the libertarians and conservatives is that they have right answers on high level policy. But on the zoomed in scale of urban planning, they have essentially no answers at all.
And I mean that very literally. Conservatives don't think about the future impact of urban design in the slightest. The result is policy that gives land developers completely free reign to build recklessly with no future plans for backfilling with increasing density as suburbs age into slums.
What is the right "POLICY" answer to gentrifcation? Do nothing.
What is the right policy answer to income inequality? Do nothing.
What is the right answer to building cities designed to grow and handle increasing density? WELL, it's definitely not DO NOTHING.
