I can understand why. Intermodal containers basically wrecked the "moving things between forms of transportation" aspect of urban employment. A preference for wider, flatter factories removed most urban manufacturing jobs. If you take away the office towers, cities become fucking worthless as a place for anything but government, maintaining or using network/shipping infrastructure, service jobs, and monuments to past glories. It'd be the largest urban collapse since the end of the Roman Empire. All the tens (hundreds?) of millions of nonwhite urban vote cattle will be left on their own to rot.
