Confessions of a Recovering Engineer

This was a great follow up to The Geography of Nowhere, which I read many years ago and has influenced how I think about cities. I hope more Americans learn about roads, streets, and stroads and advocate for better infrastructure.

This book gave me good insight into how the engineering profession and existing structures affect our cities, and the implicit values those professions bring. I do feel the book centers too much on finances over just talking about livable cities, but is still a good read if you want to know how to make your city better.

It also goes on this weird rant about high speed rail being communist like seriously what's up with that
