@nytimes: In the 1960s, Sesame Street was being conceived at the same time that the urban design book “The Death and Life of Great American Cities” by Jane Jacobs was exploding in popularity. @sortofanna, a reporter for The New York Times, explains how some of the urban design principles outlined in the book show up throughout the children’s TV show.

“Eyes on the street” is exactly why in 2003 when I move back to Louisville Kentucky I didn’t choose an apartment on East market. The book I read was Richard Florida’s book titled the creative class. I wanted to be about what made Louisville vibrant. As a single person moving to a street where there weren’t enough people I didn’t feel safe and chose a different neighborhood. Now the area is thriving, but the artists and other creative professionals were first because the real estate cost was low. Now with the demands of return on investment, the area has gentrified beyond affordability.

The attack on Sesame Street is also an attack on high density zoning 😩
