2023-06-13 18:31:29 +0000 UTCRe. the idea that everything that is good in London is essentially coterminous with community spaces, I wonder if this could be connected with the ideology of the suburbs returning to the metropole. As P.E. Moskowitz recently wrote in The Nation: "The suburban doctrine dictates that public space be limited, and conflict-free where it exists; that private space serve only as a place of commodity exchange; that surveillance, hyper-individualism, and constant vigilance are good and normal and keep people safe. It is an ideology that extends beyond the suburbs; it infects everything. Even cities […] have become places where people expect convenience and calmness over culture and community. What is a life of living in a surveilled and amenity-filled high-rise and ordering all your food and objects from the Internet to your door if not a suburban life?" Great episode, and will read the book very soon.
