"Never delegate understanding."

Thinking Cities
As Pyatok says, we need to allow our working class to be able to make a living with no more impediments than exist in the developing world, and to break down the artificial but legal barriers between living and working activities; we must recognize that they often do not exist in reality and should not be required to be separated based on impractical code provisions.
Around the world, only a few hundred people make a living as fulltime typeface designers. Two of them happen to live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, population 167,000, where they’ve embarked on an ambitious project to distill the city’s artistic and entrepreneurial spirit into a font called Chatype. The goal is to help the city and its businesses forge a distinct and cohesive identity through custom typeface, sending a visual message to the world that Chattanooga—a rapidly growing city in the midst of a creative renaissance—is “more than just your average Southern town.”
