The State of the Nation...

I’m almost thoroughly convinced that half of this country’s problems arise from the fact that most of our cities are poorly designed. Many of them suffer from suburban sprawl and a lack of a good public transportation system. In short, suburbs are ridiculously boring and to go anywhere interesting, you have to have a car, which costs money and gas. If you can’t afford a car, you’re outta luck and will suffer for it.

Read The Geography of Nowhere by Howard Kunstler and Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. They can explain it better than I can. Cincinnati…I’m looking at you.
