"I have to agree with David that Tierney's article [The Autonomist Manifesto] had some worthwhile points mixed in with a truckload of distortions and inaccuracies...Here I'll focus on market demand and planning history...If you want to believe that planning is inherently evil, and that great urban places developed absolutely spontaneously, you can go ahead and ignore the evidence of history."
