My Favorite Term For A New Kind Of Performance Is "security Theater." In This Genre, We Watch As Ritualized Inspections And Patdowns Create The Illusion Of Security.

From What I've Heard, Paris Did A Little Bit More Prep Work As Far As Making Bike Lanes And All Of That Stuff. They Really Did It Properly, Which New York Is Getting To Little By Little.

I Don't Care How Impossible It Seems.
