I bet the smart cities will work out just as good as the EV cars. An exploding, flaming deadly mess. Thanks for all the links, as always.

It really is astounding to me. Right here in my own small town (city pop. 56k and county pop. 300k) there are huge numbers of apt complexes going up. The commercial buildings that were there since town began have been re-zoned, cleared, and replaced with apt buildings. All over town including downtown. The millennials, primarily, think it's great, but it did not actually help ease the issue of "affordable housing". So.. govt is "helping out" here and there with rent subsidies, including free rent for homeless in hotels. It continues to change the local landscape, and of course it all makes total sense to almost everyone in this insanely liberal west coast town. "Smart prison" is exactly right. Many libs are convinced that life will be better if "someone" takes care of them, bc after all, it's their due.
