"When know what we're doing, this is is the way of the future, it's how we will implement our utopia" is what everyone said back in the 50s-70s when they were cooking up single family zoning, parking minimums and all that crap.

I'm very bearish on the idea that doing the same exact kind of micromanagement of property development but with a different set of values will generate results that of substantially different net value to society over all.
