His NURB stuff is based on small, walkable cities with low-rise buildings.<BR/><BR/>p.s.: BTW, got an extra $70B lying around?

I'm thinking a coastal city. My guess is Philly. They are already experiencing an uptick in crime, the bubble didn't benefit them as much as Boston/NYC, and their police force is not NYC standards.Son of Brock Landershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263952647741417976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-51359347463887248282009-02-13T18:02:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:02:00.000-08:00Darwin wasn't living in Californicated - and it ha...Darwin wasn't living in Californicated - and it has absolutely nothing to do with Obama. <BR/>Anyway, even if you're an a-hole <A HREF="http://nucleartentacles.blogspot.com/2009/02/liza-says-happy-fishnet-friday-v-day.html" REL="nofollow">Liza wishes you a Happy Fishnet Friday</A>!<BR/>More Liza if you don't continue some wingnut agenda.Akirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04928231767634740127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-23408582572399724282009-02-13T16:30:00.000-08:002009-02-13T16:30:00.000-08:00RobWhere did that photo come from?It is deeply dis...Rob<BR/><BR/>Where did that photo come from?<BR/>It is deeply disturbing on so many levels.<BR/><BR/>Is the KC?<BR/>Is that his new uniform?<BR/>Is he going bald from the wheatgerm shots?<BR/><BR/>people want to know.

Despite the plaintive bleatings of the Kunstlerites big cities are about to give back much of their recent gains much like everything and everybody else.

Use tax revenues from captive businesses to hand out goodies to the inner city residents, who then have strong incentives both to stay put and vote for the politician who is "bringing home the bacon".
