Hey punk. I live in an old, inner ring community of small (too small) houses. What is being discussed here is being applied to long standing communities. They are not simply trying to prevent sprawl. They are trying to tear down entire, well functioning, communities and cram individual land owners into beehives. Move to Europe if you think we are wrong.
"Hey, punk"? What the hell does that mean? What are you, the Dirty Harry of urban design? Spare me the macho posturing.
Like I said, try switching to decaf -- or, if that doesn't work, I suggest Haldol. Your spring's wound just a little too tight, friend.
