’Town-scapes are changing. The open-plan city belongs to the past – no more ramblas, no more pedestrian precincts, no more left banks and Latin quarters. We’re moving into the age of security grilles and defensible space. As for living, our surveillance cameras can do that for us. People are locking their doors and switching off their nervous systems.’ J G Ballard Cocaine Nights

I've also been thinking recently that there aren't enough pretentious people out there.
