    It’s the attitude, not the bricks. If the government destroys it people can go elsewhere. The important part are the people who want to build a better future.

      Sure, but not many that also have the means to accomplish it. It’s sort of tough to build a better world when you’re stuck working for an evil corporation but would be homeless and starving if you as much as took a few days off to protest gunning random innocent people down in the streets.

      I don’t see a realistic way to get to that better world from where we’re standing that doesn’t first go through a lot of awful even worse than anything we see today, and very likely a lot of people being willing to die just in the hopes that it will make things better for people in the future but certainty that whether it does or not is something they’ll never see either way.

        you’re stuck working for an evil corporation

        Once a future city is going, people can move there and find better work. The difficult part is to get it running.
