When an administration operates without a moral compass and harbours the belief that designers, architects et al are essentially 'a bunch of wankers' it is on the way to achieving the lowest possible denominator at the highest possible price. When a bunch of decision makers abdicate, hand tasks to someone else and refute their obligations while insisting upon being paid it is more than troubling.
Everything is designed but so few things are designed all that well. Opinions should start discussion and deliberation, not to end them. A city with one overarching perspective and with one player claiming ownership, its rather like someone with one eye. Sadly all too often it turns out badly with the eye turning out to be glass and unseeing.
Most visionaries never reach their goals because they are unable define them, or ever seriously consider sharing them in order to make them achievable. Achievers can tell you where they intend to go, what they will do along the way, and who they will be sharing the venture with in order to get there.
Hunting in bottomless pits is exhausting and especially so when it cuts through layer upon layer of greed. The hunter eventually gets into an endless effort to satisfy a want without ever reaching an end.
