What we can't afford to do is ignore place-based inequalities. They are deeply entrenched, esp in the US where the legacy of redlining and highway expansion have carved our cities into what they are today. We have to accept this reality and device policies to address the problems as they are.

However, geography and how humans navigate space is so complicated, so perfection can't be the goal here.
