That Clint Eastwood movie is also being shot today and tomorrow at Home Grown in Reynoldstown.
Duany contradicts himself and flat out lies multiple times in that article.
That Duany article is interesting. Pave over the creeks…as long as everyone is piled on top of each other everything will be fine. What about the delicate human psyche and the impact to peoples minds when you paving over creeks to pile everyone on top of each other? If you want to see the insanity that exists as a result of the crassness of the overdevelopment and commercialization that exists out there, just pull up ajc.com or turn on the evening news.
I used to think density was the key to environmental sustainability but if you really look at it clearly, cities just suck all the resources from the rural areas (locally and at great distances) to enable the voraciousness of populations living in high density environments. How sustainable is that? There are pros and cons for the majority of the population living in cities. This guy seems to think everyone living in cities is the end all solution to our compounding environmental crises. His premises are surface solutions that are based on surface premises rather than addressing the root systemic causes of many of our social ills.
