it's a good book, especially as an introduction to why reductionism and quantitative measurement distort what they measure when taken apart from holism and qualitative valuation - but boy is it a slow burner. I listened to it on audiobook during my commute and I'm surprised I didn't fall asleep at the wheel.

yeah I made it to the middle of the jane jacobs / corbusier section and gave up

midsection is like fractally repetitive where it's repeating previous chapters and also repeating the current chapter

really good footnotes though
