In a sense he's talking about the end of spontaneity and play for "seriousness" and "absolutism."

I am surprised about his views on the Grid. I think that as one who seeks to expose and experience the City's true beauty, he would embrace it. I disagree with him.

Yes, let's do away with the grid plan & while we're at it let's get rid of all the cars too. Bike it or hike it & re-design it!

@JayMalone well not really as a metophor, but more as a work of art, hes saying the grid plan, like anything else that we go though and use should be an expression of who we are, and not what the former generation was, but thats what i took from it it is what u want it to be

He is so remarkably articulate and expressive, his monologues are the equivalent of an epic jazz solo.

His thoughts on the grid plan seem much more apropos to the winding suburban streets and cul-de-sacs that purposely avoid the grid in an effort to disguise their homogeneity. To me the grid it is like the alphabet, a standardization that allows an otherwise heterogeneous crowd to communicate with each other.

@YuriArtibise: I ...( 7 months ago by mjamesharding)
@YuriArtibise: I don't know that the grid plan facilitates communication and relationships between diverse groups. If you look at NYC, the grid plan actually assists inclusivity by using boulevards and streets to divide neighborhoods from each other--large rivers of concrete and asphalt that keep people in their own insular enclaves (or gentrified neighborhoods). I think that the suburbs avoid the grid plan mainly because suburbs were planned around the automobile and not people.

@noncontradiction: I don't know what you mean by "the same level" and "the picture". Also, who are the people you are referring to and what do you mean when you use the metaphor, "down"?
