This made me think about the repeated notion that old European capitals are “Disneyland for adults”, how while there is a kernel of insightful criticism, it betrays a lack of imagination on the part of the speaker; because, having lived in a very adult, very serious, very sober world of capitalist America, where the urban districts are built for the exclusive satisfaction of capital and the rejection of human residents — this person already cannot imagine a city that is designed for the pleasure of its residents, designed for use-value instead of exchange-value, except to the extent that pleasure is transactional as in an amusement park.
