Urban...

Urban Lobotomy
Reading some of the PnJ comments today, someone linked to a story about a TIF funded scheme in LA to destroy a historical aspect of the city - to build a bigger, more expensive "tidy" version... this phrase comes from this sentence within the story : "This is not a project for the bureaucrats but for the artists to lead the way. Bunker Hill was a CRA project and world planners and architects called it urban lobotomy."

Dear oh dear. Seems business and sterilisation wins again.
