I did not expect the level of pessimism and angst in some of the chapters. Some of the authors seem to have quite low expectations for what the city can/will accomplish. There was also an overriding sense of anxiety regarding how citizens will work to improve the city through creative endeavors and support. As I live the city today, I have much less trepidation and feel that progress is afoot.
I did learn quite a bit about the city, but all in all, this book is too dated to be of much use beyond historical reference. I do not feel the despair that I sensed in the chapter authors or the editor. There were bright spots and moments of praise, but I hope that this book will be updated with a more positive and refreshing tone.
