C'mon, this is absurd. Why is this an either-or thing? Why is ED a "distraction" from the real important stuff? Why can't we think of two, even three things at once? And why is ED so unimportant if, as I spent the weekend showing, it's been central to the planning of New York and other urban areas for decades?
