...university needed was 14,000 more football seats and an extension of that concrete monstrosity to twice its present height. But nobody had been told about the worst aspect of the expansion plan. Erwin proposed moving a street over and completely destroying the stretch of Waller Creek I described. Even with the expansion he didn't have to destroy the creek (which he wanted to make into a concrete drainage ditch): the architecture students had drawn up an alternate plan that would have caused only a fraction of the destruction. Even if one considers the 14,000 seats justified...
...perched on a limb some 50 feet up, it's hard to keep from falling when a cop inches around the tree trunk and suddenly grabs one of your feet, out from under you, while another one yanks one of your hands off of the limb above you.

To him, the neighborhood-oriented approach is self-defeating if the neighborhoods are human...
...SECOND point of this policy- the reorganization of local government- might even do more to aggravate stolidly Republican suburbia. Moynihan correctly calls urban government "fragmented and obsolescent." The flight of both industry and middle class to the suburbs has eaten away at the urban tax base. This smaller tax base must simultaneously finance more and more government services for the outcast population left behind...
