For sure, there certainly could be improvements architecturally, and I agree the Adam Neumann probably isn't the person to solve it.

I do love Brooklyn's planning for the most part, with mixed use commercial avenues and largely residential streets, but I'd also like more outdoor space to socialize in. Half my family is Algerian and I love the style of the Casbah, with interior courtyards surrounded by apartments or multi-use spaces. There's some good footage of this typical Casbah style building in a music video by the Blaze, for those that haven't seen it [1]. I've seen a similar style in Oaxaca as well.
