the idea of a shared public sphere has been continuously dismantled over the last 50 years, this isn't surprising at all. way too many causes to list but it's Not Great imho. hostile architecture, general misanthropy, car dependence, the loneliness epidemic, rise in fascism...they're all related.

my hot take is that building more homes is a critical, non-negotiable component of a larger housing justice platform and we will need new political coalitions to make it happen, and also having the folks outlined in this article associated with the effort is very bad newrepublic.com/article/1893...
