The author proposes about bulldozing San Diego to make room for a new New York:
“Don’t think of it as “San Diego”—think of it as “an area that will soon be bulldozed to make way for New New York City.” Gone will be the sprawling detritus of lesser America. In its place we will painstakingly construct a jumbled super-urban metropolis that spreads for hundreds of square miles in all (sunny) directions, like a high-rise-laden squid that has made its inky escape from the Northeast, bringing along all of its charms and none of its fucking ice.”
