There is partisan opinion on the web (check for delaney term) that current chaotic conditions in our cities can be attributed to a political party.

No, I disagree, all cities are machines. These machines are conveniently located on trade routes for a reason.

The oil of a city is trade. money. profit.

Do I really need to spell out the intrinsic capitalist free market nature of a city? We don't have to make a big deal about our "capitalism." We live in that machine as well.

As money is the oil of a city, ideology is sand in the gears. We must live together. Here.I can disagree with you without hating you.

Profits are protected by laws, ordinaces, zoning , regulations, permits, inspections and an enforcement mechanism. This is not "Socialist" is it?
