Inner cities everywhere have crime, addiction and poverty issues for reasons we don't need to discuss here. Those issues require significant and variable - not necessarily fixed - resources. They are a part of the costs of keeping those areas semi-livable. We can't ignore those costs because they don't fit the theory.

For someone who prides himself on working in reality you are throwing us for a curve with that statement. While it's entirely possible it's as near to impossible as me living on the moon in my lifetime.
While I agree, urbanism is possible there, everyone here knows it won't happen.
