I like it. What do you folks think?

I'm also intrigued by this article (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pacificnw/2003/0202/cover.html) re: why some cities have it while others don't. The reason being a smaller power structure vs that which is diffuse.

I think that Clavs is onto something.

Now all the libertarian types can freak out, but seriously - would it not be better for humanity in general if we had more dense, more efficient living?

Though I do wonder how these snazzy multi-use high-rises will age after forty years...

Also - down with free parking!!!

Cool site! Thanks Sally. I've saved it amongst my favorites.

Yeah. I'm always dreaming and thinking about cities. I think we should go vertical rather than sprawling. I dream of futuristic cities that are without cars, public transportation only, are dense and vertical and leaves the majority of the earth wild and free.

In a nation of Dmans, that may as well be the Communist Party website.

*not that I think it isn't a good website*

In other words, Atlanta is the antichrist.

I think that we knew this already.
