    At least urban planners want to do good

    Highly debatable and more of a case by case basis. You get a lot of them coming at it from an “engineering” standpoint and fully carbrained

      I suppose, though in my personal experience it’s more a question of having your soul crushed and giving up at some point. Most planners I’ve interacted with want to - or at least started out with wanting to - do good. It’s just incredibly difficult to do anything other than MORE ROAD or BIG EXPENSIVE OFFICE.

        Oh I don’t even mean the broken down people, not judging by the official position or what they actually do even, I get the constraints.

        But even discounting those the field is still littered with fully car brained people entirely on board with whatever next planning crime is currently being done
