Having biked in urban environments for quite some time, I've found the solution is is to have a crappy bike and a bigger lock than the next bike over. Note that a crappy bike doesn't have to be a bad bike, just not something flashy.

Yeah the only way is to make the ROI impossibly low. I made the mistake of thinking my old bike was crappy enough (low brand 90s thing with a broken pedal) to use two cable locks. Wrong. I was greeted with a McDonalds paperbag and the remains of these poor cables. Fat chain or U-Lock are mandatory.
