Downing on Jacobs
Very few locals are brave enough to take on Jane, but Downing is.
I confess that for me, Jacobs was like that verse in Matthew about a prophet without honour. Much praise for her comes from activists who would follow a moose statue if it suited their ideology. Then there are those who admired her blunt talk but never puzzled their way through her books.
