Today's Moment comes from a recent Slate piece by Witold Rybczynski about why good cities have bad architecture. Rybczynkski uses San Francisco as his example. How best to describe the town?
Architecturally speaking, San Francisco has been like a beautiful, rich woman who has never developed an interest in cooking and serves TV dinners to her family, then occasionally—somewhat frantically—hires caterers whenever she has company for dinner. OK, it's an imperfect analogy, but you get the idea.
Uh, not really.
