Note on city planning

(A corollary to a point that Tocqueville makes somewhere) Europeans designed their cities so that the people could be idle or entertained or dissolute in public squares; Americans design theirs so that the people are supposed to go home and get drunk in front of their fireplaces or televisions.

Definitely some truth in that.
