    Doesn’t everyone learn in school that utopias can’t exist.

    Joe loves dogs and hates cats, Susie loves cats and hates dogs… utopia over.

        I don’t know what this means. What is a utopian model? If they don’t like people using that name, why do they call it that?

        I tried searching, but various things came up, including utopian socialism. Since the city in the article mentioned hiring private companies to do everything, I can only assume that’s not it.

        Yea those aren’t utopian. They can call themselves whatever they want but it doesn’t make it true.
