Here's an ideal opportunity for everybody who's ever felt a ray of sunshine enter their heart at the notion of central planning and socialism; for every town planner who's ever felt a pang at the thought of planning people's lives -- for every busybody who's ever wanted to shoehorn whole populations of people into living the way you want them. If you can feel your heart bursting already at the thought, then Hugo Chavez has an invitation for you.
The creation of "socialist cities" in Chavez's Venezuela is now under way, focusing on developing "socialist towns ... intended to promote the endogenous potential and prioritize social economy." Is your spine tingling at the very idea?
Doesn't get better than that if you're a politically correct busybody. Here's your chance, the first urban nightmare is already under way. It's called Caribia. The design advice comes from Belarus. Yes, Belarus. [Hat tip Crusader Rabbit]
I sugest you mention this to Jordan.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to live in the wonderful tradeless paradise he would design.
