Reply #189: You make your case eloquently here...

So I won't try to tear at your argument.

You seem to take this as an attack on the people who live in suburbs - for a few of these posters, it probably is.

For me, it's the totally broken suburban model of growth. I don't blame suburbanites for living in the wasteland they live in - I blame developers and city planners for failing to make communities that will be sustainable in five, ten, twenty years from now, because your kids and mine will probably still be in school when gasoline hits $6/gal.


(BTW the reason you see people in downtown Tampa walking around with burgers and not in the burbs, is because NOBODY WALKS IN THE BURBS!)
