That The Sight Of People Attracts Still Other People, Is Something That City Planners And City Architectural Designers Seem To Find Incomprehensible. They Operate On The Premise That City People Seek The Sight Of Emptiness, Obvious Order And Quiet. Nothing Could Be Less True. The Presences Of Great Numbers Of People Gathered Together In Cities Should Not Only Be Frankly Accepted As A Physical Fact... They Should Also Be Enjoyed As An Asset And Their Presence Celebrated.

While Politicians, Clergy, Creators Of Advertisements, And Other Worthies Assert Stoutly That The Family Is The Foundation Of Society, The Nuclear Family, As An Institution, Is Currently In Grave Trouble.

Reformers Have Long Observed City People Loitering On Busy Corners, Hanging Around In Candy Stores And Bars And Drinking Soda Popon Stoops, And Have Passed A Judgment, The Gist Of Which Is: "this Is Deplorable! If These People Had Decent Homes And A More Private Or Bosky Outdoor Place, They Wouldn't Be On The Street!" That Judgment Represents A Profound Misunderstanding Of Cities. It Makes No More Sense Than To Drop In At A Testimonial Banquet In A Hotel And Conclude That If These People Had Wives Who Could Cook, They Would Give Their Parties At Home.
