The best part about new 21st century cities being built from scratch is kindergarten for tenure with primary services.

Resetting tenure for a new century solves 99% of the problems with trying to build on-top of inefficiency (schools, public utilities, local government, etc).

Toronto would have been better off with a sister city, developing a DFW-like economic area for the future instead of accelerating urban rot.

>is kindergarten for tenure with primary services.

i know what those words mean, but not in this context. what does this mean?

I think it means "there are no employees in school, fire, health, police services to resist reform" in a tone somewhere around "condescending."

Sorry I missed this, but am on a first-time trip to a rain forest in America, so my perspective may be temporarily biased (the air is phenomenal and the ASMR soundtrack is better than atmos fwiw).

Instead of "condescending", its probably just a clean canvas imbued with natural growth cycles (hence kindergarten, with nothing in-place to resist).

Saying "We the People have evolved" may be a stretch, but tenure and bad math are basic components of the rot-ops/rot-optics of prior innovations.
