I don’t think urban planning counts as governmental politics, it’s no more political than feminism as a whole and that’s surely allowed on this community.
I agree with you that poor urban planning and a lack of “third spaces” is certainly something that contributes to our society-wide problems. But I don’t think it’s the sole cause, or even an especially large one. I’ve heard similar stories in Europe. And Japan, for instance, has much better urban planning, and highly walkable cities, third places to go for community – I visited the neighbourhood only once, but the lesbian bars in Shinjuku were a blast – yet isolation is an even worse problem there.
