Just read the article highly interesting and challenges bias toward higher density and mass transit as many trained by the historical ideas of what makes a great city. Thanks for posting ... a great read

The broader perspective was great, imagine the concept a great city is an economic engine for people... I get so tired of the same old boring urban planner fetish of density and trains. Great new fresh perspective on things....read the article people...yes that means you too urban planners
