While I spent last week fretting over what was wrong, The Stranger came up with some answers. I really like it. I really like it. Urbanism as a political identity. It has a strong base, it reflects the realities of the demographics, it focuses on important things, it's self-perpetuating (a platform of improving city infrastructure to lure more people to the cities is brilliant), it has strong rhetorical potential. And it doesn't mean snivelling over to the right. Until someone comes up with something better, I'm going with this.
