I just finished the 5th chapter of The Geography of Nowhere and Howard Kuntstler, I salute you. It is not often that an author writes exactly what I think but can't put into words myself.

Thought I would pass on another movie that was recommended to me by MikeOKC (thanks Mike). The first 20 minutes or so are all global warming but if you can suffer through that the rest is pretty good. While not directly related to new urbanism, it does a good job of stressing sustainability in economics - which is directly related to new urbanism. I also found the term "progress trap" very interesting. Ever since watching the movie Jurassic Park when they used the line "You were so busy see if you could do it, you never considered if you should do it" it has been something that I kept in the back of my mind. Can we sprawl all over the prairie? Yes we can. Should we do it? No we shouldn't - for about 10,000 reasons.

It is available on NetFlix instant view.
