I'm not a particularly fast reader. I'm genuinely interested in what this article may be trying to say, but there's so much lard in this writing that I had to stop reading after a few paragraphs to save myself the potential huge time loss inherent in getting through the entire thing and being disappointed by the end meaning. The writing is so full of overwrought huge abstractions and hyperbole instead of concrete fact that I can't push myself to even get halfway through it.

I do share the feeling that it describes, though, about the uncaring nature of the way we seem to construct towns these days.

That's what the Atlantic is like. They rarely take pieces that aren't in a similar style.
