yeah, that sounds about right.
Any city can be fixed, given enough money and political will.
I just believe that most American cities will take generations before they are significantly improved.
Although, I'm also not totally convinced that all American cities are actually improving.
If it takes you 10 years to get a few bike lanes, but in that time, 10,000 acres of new car-dependent suburbia is built on the periphery, is that really considered "moving forward?"
