Raise your sights. Demand (or wait for) better. If you are OK with unremarkable urban supply, stuck with unremarkable suburban supply, and freely support the erosion of anything remarkable by the unremarkable, you will end up with a city fabric that will be shunned by anyone who can find higher quality cloth elsewhere.
