This book is a little whitewashed but I still love it. Would love to hear different takes from marginalized groups on what Montgomery is saying about city life—New Urbanism can easily lead to gentrification. I think that should have been addressed more. Also, of course, ableist language abounds in here, so take a lot of the statistics about mental and physical health with a grain of salt.
