Reading March 28

In addition to the technical challenges, this article introduces the horrifying policy of “planned shrinkage,” which was a very real element of NYC urban planning and policy in the 1970s.  I have to say that this is one of the few (20th century, American, urban) policies i know of where something close to intentional evil seems to be involved, although very much in line with hannah arendt’s analysis of the banality of evil.
