Bright Lights, Small Government: Why libertarians adore Jane Jacobs

The author is apparently a Ph.D. student in Sociology at NYU. The article looks like an opinion piece, not a scholarly commentary on Jane Jacobs' work, but I haven't read the entire article yet.

I think it is funny how Jane Jacob's arguments are so similar to those of Venturi defending the "commercial strip" architecture which is also a vernacular architecture. (i.e. Learning from Las Vegas is the only architecture book where they have quotes about their designs such as "If this is what I wanted I wouldn't have hired an architect")

Editorializing the title. Proper title should be Bright Lights, Small Government
