Opinion: Shut Up Already About Moses vs. Jacobs.

The article argues that the debate between Robert Moses and Jane Jacobs, two influential figures in New York City's urban development, is no longer relevant to the city's current challenges. The author explains that the Moses-Jacobs clash occurred during a period of stagnant population growth, and their approaches to urban planning were based on the assumption that the city was not going to grow significantly. However, since 1980, the population of New York City has been steadily increasing, leading to affordability issues and a need for more housing. The article suggests that instead of focusing on the past, the city should find solutions to its present-day challenges by embracing growth and increasing housing options. [Extracted from the article]
