When I was a kid a million years ago the biggest advice columnist, Ann Landers, regularly counseled her readers to "mend family fences before it's too late."

Can we identify some successes at doing this? Even in cases where there's political will, such as Nay Pyi Taw (the new capital of Myanmar), they built the city but little economic activity followed. There's just no reason a business would want to be there.

Magnolia shouldn't get any more housing because it's a peninsula. Montlake is an isthmus (with a channel cut through). Edmonds is a watershed. Tell me your geography and I'll tell you your excuse.
