Urban Decay is a website – principally a gallery by an unnamed urban planner living in Toronto. He or she has been traveling North America for years observing – and taking beautiful photographs. We here reproduce sample just of a few of the New York City photographs, but plan to look again soon.

Without meaning offense – it seems the following ought to be said: on domestic issues, by any one of a number of issues (public health, risk allocation, energy consumption per dollar of GDP) – our neighbors to the north are way ahead of us. We need to be sending our municipal managers there – or get them coming down here and teach us a thing or two.

Assuming, of course, that we’re inclined to learn. End rant.
