James Howard Kunstler On Suburbia

Rust Wire posted this extended rant about Suburbia by James Howard Kunstler. Our recent economic troubles, focused on our real estate markets have everything to do with the nature of the spaces we have been creating; places that stand very little chance of having any value over any extended period of time.

How can anyone looking at the very typical spaces he shows think that a city made up of them could be either socially or economically viable?
