*shakes head* This is definitely why I live downtown (emersongeek's out in VA, bitch of a commute). Articles like that really make me reconsider getting a car next year. It's just all very distasteful.
I didn't read the entire article, but this is the sort of thing they've been telling us in architecture all last semester... It's all the fault of the zoning ordinances, apparently. You're not allowed to build commercial and industrial and residential next to each other, so you get these huge blobs of each and the only way to get between them is to drive... Almost all our speakers talked very nostalgically about "real cities" and how much character they have. Dependence on cars isolates us.
