Imagination and culture costs too much money. Cookie-cutter development is in the developers' financial interest, not the residents. Poor red-headed step child Natomas. Awwwww.

Our City Council take the "if they have money and are willing to put it where we tell them, they can put a glorified outhouse on location and we don't care a crap" approach to city planning. For one brief moment in 2001, the Council turned down a developer who was going to bring in a huge shopping center across from Wal-Mart. We all cheered. Then they saw the lost revenue and approved EVERY SINGLE PROJECT that came up to them ever since. City planning means planning not prostituting to developers.
