It makes me genuinely sad that if, as he says, he read the book, this is the impression he formed of the history it presents: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/700580...

My experience in 4 cities: Progressives: Yes to affordable density, no to only building luxury condos and displacing tenants now housed in cheaper, smaller dense housing. Conservatives: This tower spoils my view. That complex will bring in the wrong kind of people to the neighbourhood.
