How are urbanists fucking up cities? By definition they are the ones trying to make them better.

Maybe they meant urban designers

I see more concrete than ever, I see more only-one way than ever which extend your traffic time and if you miss your exit or street, you are screwed and goog to do a full consuming/polluting detour to reach your destination. I don't mind if commute were performant, not ugly or dystopian.

I don't see much place for grass/trees etc.

Near my house, they destroyed an old fabric to build fucking cheap soul less apartments. They are literally building new "blocks" on landfields while there's plenty of free apartment in the city. fucking real-estate mafia and mayor's corruption.

I am from old Europe and we used to have nice architecture and city organization.
