What took urbanists so long? When I brought this up 10 to 12 years ago, the reactions ranged from dismissal to hostility. Now we are finally discussing it.

You keep saying "left" because it's a headless phantom. There is no organization or website or membership or manifesto.

This must be a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation. No matter, I feel it is soiled now. But I'm not in her shoes so bless her and her strengths in service to the people of her country.

LAUREATE PRAISES TRUMP'S 'DECISIVE SUPPORT FOR OUR CAUSE'
She later said, in an X post in English: "I dedicate the prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!"

Trump is a fierce critic of Maduro and the U.S. is one of a number of countries that does not recognise his government's legitimacy.
The White House had earlier criticised the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision to focus on Venezuela just days after Trump announced a breakthrough in talks to halt the fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

In the U.S. I believe this is the single issue that stunts the growth of urbanism. It isn't parking or a lot of other issues. Cities for families is the issue. It isn't even on people's radar.
