8. Kunstler confirmed my intuition
Edited on Thu Mar-30-06 03:33 PM by ramapo
I had long thought that suburbia had run amok. I don't think it is a healthy place either environmentally or socially. Kunstler's books made me realize how much we've lost by abandoning the cities. Yes, he's a bit over the top sometimes but that's ok.

I don't think alternative fuels are any better for our cars. I think the only place in our transit picture that cars have are for short journeys to connect to mass-transit feeder sites and local trips that are not walkable or otherwise feasible.
