The Tragedy of Suburbia

Did you find this site whilst googling your own name?

That was really intresting. I'v seen towns around here that have tried to make themselves like these perfect communities but it hasn't worked, mostly because the spaces are concrete and ugly, what he was talking about the history and beauty of an area should have been thought about more when they made those hell holes.The towns are just concrete jungles.

So what he's sayings really great, tho he himself probly knows as well that on a big scale it will never really happen. We'll probly all just crash and burn instead when the fuel goes.

I'v never had a look on that website, full of good stuff. Watched someone doing a talk about their experiance "My Stroke of Insite".

 These place that he shows at 2:55 is quite beautiful.  Where is that?  Is that considered a city?  When I think of a city, I think of Manhattan, which is completely gross compared to this lovely scene.  I actually live in suburbia and none of the scenes from suburbia he shows look anything like where I live.  The houses he shows at 13:40 and 13:50 are gross.  My house rocks.  He confuses me.

 At about 15:40 he talks about the changes that high prices for oil are going to create.  "We're gonna have to live closer to where we work."  He makes relocation sound so easy.  I live in a house.  I'm not going to sell it, not in this horrible housing market.  If I want to save on fuel, I'll just turn the heat down.  I work ten minutes away from where I live, so there's no real incentive to move into Manhattan.  Also, Manhattan, may I point out is extrodinarily expensive.  You can a tiny space, and you pay so much for it!  On the other hand, living in Manhattan is very "green".  Living there, you don't have to own a car, and having a little apartment, you don't spend a lot on heating.   The urban scene he shows at 16:32 is quite beautiful as well.  But again, I think that's a city?  The buildings are so small.  It looks more like the suburbs than Manhattan.
