.............Arnold Kling is feeling imposed upon:
What appalls me is the
arrogance of the project to alter other people’s lifestyle. When people moved
here, they showed a preference for living as we do. The plan replaces the
preferences of the residents with the preferences of the planners.
If a developer came along
and built a community where cars were disfavored, that he said would “repair
past injustices that disproportionately affected people of color” and “reduce
climate-related risks,” then people could decide whether or not to reside in
that community. I have no problem with that. But to take a community that
people chose to live in and completely remake it to suit the planners’ idea of
utopia to me seems un-American.
