What the left does is to try and subvert capitalism by putting its thumb on the scale to force people into things they don't want.

Sounds like shades of Pruitt Igoe, which as an old St. Louis boy yourself, you may know what I’m talking about…. the first big public housing project in the nation- followed soon after by Cabrini-Green in Chicago. Both of them monstrous utter failures. They became warnings and lessons on how “not to do it” to urban planners. Apparently urban planners in the NW didn’t get the message?

Urban planning without input from potential residents and stakeholders usually ends up like that. That’s not a right/left thing. Thats a stupidity thing, although most of the urban planners out there in your neck of the woulds are probably liberals.
