      The better designed and better laid out cities are, the more affordable and less intruded-upon rural areas are. It’s win-win.

      An apartment in the suburbs of Nowhere, Texas? Agreed. An apartment in the middle of a beautiful, historic downtown city center that has been developing for hundreds of years? I could give the car up.

          Yeah, I’m with the other guy who made this comment. This is why we need our cities functioning as efficiently as possible with good design and public transportation. I want people to have their seclusion way out yonder! Maybe I’ll want it one day too. The urban sprawl is relentless
