It'd be nice if they built more housing in cities, most of America is an underdeveloped and underpopulated dump, particularly the urban parts. Zoning laws ought to be removed, the kinds of businesses that crop up in cities are depressing and often quite low quality and variety. You ever live in Chicago or New York or LA? Lots of these cities needs to be bulldozed and rebuilt, and a lot of existing power brokers and investors and property owners fucking need to take a haircut on it for the good of the nation. And why should you have to move to the sticks to live well anyway? A comprehensive redevelopment of cities would require a demolition of existing urban governance. This would redound to any freedom-loving person's benefit. It would be wise to fund a large and empowered new beaux-arts movement. That's how Paris became Paris, the place people want to go to, where their dreams of it exceed reality, not the present expensive thing in the center of a sea of banlieus. America deserves big, big plans to transform urban life, which, frankly, is extremely necessary. The degrading conditions of cities don't affect those already shitty, but it makes life worse for the rest of us.
Unless Republicans have an agenda for cities that completely transforms them, and it really has to be something better than "fewer spics and niggers" to be good politics, then they'll stay the party of the poor working class, old retards, and the rump faction of dissident/disaffected/based academics, instead of the party of people who get money and work in high-flying industries.
