Says who? The same people that pushed the "knowledge based economy"? how did that work out?
The ivy league and the university system pushed "everyone needs higher education!!" because they made fuck loads of money off of it. Never mind that until recently, only 1% of the population ever went to college. the reason why we have such a low graduation rate, is because only a handful of people should go to school.
Frankly, Washington should not be planning and designing cities. That IS the job of the cities. What resources do they have? what do they need? who wants to work with them? These are city questions, not federal ones.

If it were not for the federal government I doubt you would have an interstate highway system or even a standard imperial inch/gallon for that matter. If it were up to the states you wouldn't have a standard size of roads, pipes or even windows.

The US doesn't use imperial. The gallon is hard proof of that.
