"The principal reason that American airports are somewhat middling despite the USs enormous wealth is that Congress caps the per-ticket fees airports can charge to fund their capital projects. Its a consumer protection effort to limit status seeking excess by cities and airport authorities. Lift the cap and we would build wonders. I know its a narrative violation for the hordes of foreigners who have been dunking on my jetbridge post this week but the US is neither poor nor an unfettered capitalist hellscape.

"Theres an abandoned parking garage catty-corner from here and the most significant abandoned building in St Louis (the Railway Exchange) is a block away. But the Wainwright has been preserved in part because its now used as a state office building. The role of public sector offices in historic preservation in depressed urban cores is really underrated. So many iconic American skyscrapers would be at risk of at least degradation if not outright demolition but for state legislators taking an interest in them and passing laws to put state offices downtown.

My preferred default is UAs which strip away our culturally contingent understandings of city limits (what's the city What's a suburb) and measure them the way archeologists would: as an area of continuous built up settlement.
