He doesn’t seem to be doing much singing, instead he’s writing columns in newspapers about stuff he likes. Not a problem with that, to be honest.

But he’s writing about his ideal city. Which is pretty much a mash of many cities and throwing out all the bad things about it. Note I’m saying it’s HIS idea of a perfect city. Mine would be completely different (not telling).

A “livable city” means vastly different things for many people. In Hong Kong it might mean that your family is in a comfortable apartment while you play in the exciting mercantile world in a glass tower overlooking the harbor. In Dallas livability might mean that you live near an expressway that isn’t jammed up, at least not all the time, and your car runs most days. For some it might mean super fast Wi-Fi, the possibility of lucky and lucrative business opportunities and plenty of strip clubs. If that’s what rocks your boat then try Houston, though to me that city, oil money made physically manifest, is my worst nightmare.
