Built To Last

u can start by cutting off ur own enital.

This seems like propaganda to me. I hate sprawl, too, but this new urbanism thought movement is getting scary.

4) Lets see... advanced stormwater & wastewater management systems, green roofs, PVs, etc.. These high tech green solutions are affordable in urban settings, where cost can be allocated across more inhabitants.
5) They are called police officers. How many do you think the suburbs will need after vast swaths of suburban homes are converted into low income rentals?

1) It appears the banks will take care of that much sooner than any group of utopians.
2) Converting the 60+ years supply of foreclosed conventional suburbs to rentals will prevent this; new and old urban centers will continue building uncrowded condo space to meet demand.
3) See #2. In all likelihood, the crime will be in the wild 'burbs, not in civilized transit-served centers which are inhabited by choice, not coercion.

It seems to me your solution is more of a bandaid to the real problem of over population. If everyone watching this video would simply get themselves sexually sterilized, the planet would have fewer humans, thus solving all the the issues this video addresses.

At only 72K viewers, I seriously doubt it.

BBdaWolfy, are you sexually sterilized? Hmm, thought not.

I am visiting my family in Salt Lake City Utah.. my God.. it takes 30 min just to get to the grocery store here.. an Extremely limited mass transit system, NO bike paths, NO pedestrian walks.. the entire city is miles upon miles upon miles of sprawling suburbia.. ugh.. I Miss Portland already.

Yes and no - I think that the form of central European cities (the part that we North American/New Urban aficionados all admire so much), are very different from the newer areas of European cities.

How do you like it there? There is a little NU development going on near me that also happens to be closer to work... if it goes as planned I'd like to move there within a few years if it turns out as planned. Unfortunately it's strictly residential now. Having a grocery store close is very important to me. I currently bike to work about 7 miles though, which isn't bad... I could have done a lot worse. Wish I had woken up to peak oil and NU before I started my career and moved to a suburb...
