Why did America destroy its great cities?
This could be the title of an entire seminar - if not a book - and, in many ways it is one of the primary topics of this blog. America has, with few exceptions, never been an urban or cosmopolitan people or culture. Our national mythology revolves around movement to the frontier, individualism, escape, etc. In many ways our culture has never really cared about where they are... only where they're going.
