While in general agreement with the article, I do want to dispel the moldy steak section. Proper dry aging does not generate mold. Some restaurants apply yeast to the surface of meat to ferment the surface much the same way kimchi is made.
They tried really hard to make Bijlmer not sound like The Projects across America. It does. There is no reason to blame or shield any person or group. The concept was intellectually mistaken, mismanaged and poorly used by residents.
The only real blame goes to ideological purist who first thought that architecture could change mankind and eventually refused to work with a changing culture. (My condemnation of Projects everywhere.)
What!!! Nothing about the epic 1989 alternate, “restored” version: the wonderful minutes long march across the desert? The horrendous makeup during the re-enacted scenes?
Rumor has it that the line, coupled with the previous one, "You wanna' play rough?" is a not so veiled sexual innuendo.
