“I’ve so far listened to three episodes.
The episode on Oneida was quite interesting. The whole idea of city or town building upon an ideal or set of ideals is interesting enough to carry the show. I found that topics were glossed over that I would have liked to have been better covered, like the relevance of the desire for normal family life as one of the causes of the breakdown of Oneida.
I would recommend Avery take a more critical attitude towards her subjects in future episodes without dropping the upbeat attitude.
I’d also recommend another episode on suburbia. It is an enormous and enormously relevant topic, with quite a few interest talking points. From an urban development perspective, zoning square miles of “single family homes” is another form of trying to force someone’s idea of what a neighborhood should look like on the future and “retrofitting suburbia” is a challenging task for people who are trying to change old suburban neighborhoods. There seems to be a clear contradiction between what people want in their suburban neighborhoods: stability, and what they get when they try to build it: a homogenous neighborhood that is likely to last only until residents are wealthy enough to evacuate to new suburbs. Another obvious issue with suburban development is that people often want to move to the suburbs to have children and they eventually will want their children to live close by. However, on the off-chance that most of the children would want to buy homes in the area, there shouldn’t be space available because the zoning code doesn’t allow more building. This is generally not an issue in America, maybe because of low birthrates or maybe because the kids generally don’t want to stay home. In any case, it is an issue in some areas of the US and can lead to kids feeling boxed out of their communities.”

“Not so much for those who are defensive about and attached to their privilege. Their loss.”

“Listened to all episodes but I’m done. Every episode can be summed up as every problem in the world is caused by while males. There is a phenomenon called “great white flight” that has occurred throughout history on every continent since the beginning of civilizations. The wealthy don’t want to...”Read full review »
