The present Moscow is a curious natural phenomenon. It is nature, because the laws of civilization suspended their action here.
For example, the Muscovite authorities explain to the peoples why, unlike all other megalopolises, in the table city, housing is uncontrollably torn upward. It turns out that Moscow does not have any other way out: there are no free sites for the victorious procession of the construction complex. Unlike the ungrateful Chicagoans and other Parisians, the Muscovites voluntarily renounced the right to demand the justification of something from the mayor, which, by a tendency to reasoning, forces me to usurp the role of the people's stands not provided for by the Charter of Moscow.
The readiness of the authorities does not guarantee grace. It read at one time Voinovich and, apparently, saw in the elegant concept of the rings of hostility around Muscore the model of the universe according to the model of Ptolemieeva. The Great Chinese District Road cut off the Muscovites from other Russia, as a result of which the very thought of the need to see other manners of existence is revered almost blasphemous.
If you are mega, you must grow - this is a fact. They grow, but none of the hypergorods contain monsters like the Moscow Construction Complex, in relation to which the metropolitan governor performs the functions of CEO (Chief Executive Officer).
A few years ago, a sluggishly extended the idea with the union of Moscow and the region into one subject of the federation. Then they threw it. It turns out that it seems like there is only one alternative: either unite, or is fenced off. Tertium Non Datur, and that’s it. At the same time, the middle class, which was dumbfounded from Moscow prices, discovered a non -existent third, closing the built housing in Krasnogorsk, Odintsovo or even in Domodedovo. However, the CEO there, in imitation of Moskovsky, managed to inflate prices under allergies to dollar savings, so the middle class was again likened to the canine, the wind of oscillation.
Some London, who is an association of municipalities, for us, of course, is not an example, but sometimes it is still useful to look around. Here, let's say, Toronto. Back in 1934, at the very time when the Stalinist general plan for the development of Moscow was prepared for approval, the Toronto authorities, together with the fourteen surrounding municipalities, formed the world's first Metropolitan Unit. There are Toronto authorities, there is power in each of the other municipalities, but there is also the electropolitan electropolitan power, occupied by the strategic development of the common urbanized territory as the unity of the natural and man -made landscape. A year ago, seven more municipalities were included in the metro. Toronto metro is almost 7 million souls, and after all, there are not a single residential building above five floors abroad, which is more comfortable and cheaper than at home, weighed down by excessive growth.
Of course, the logic of such a movement involves the development of the ability to civilly negotiate, the ability to build chains of compromises, the desire and ability to achieve the support of the population, parties, societies, federal authorities ... Everything that is characteristic of modern civilization. But we are children of nature, which is convinced of us the serene functioning of the City Duma, which, due to the elevation of morals, is tempting to call SPM - Senatus populusque moscoviensis.
On March 14, when the Muscovites elect half (presumably, it will not work) advisers of completely disenfranchised regional assemblies, the decisive victory of the kingdom of nature over civilization will be fixed.
