“[Sustainability is] keeping things going in a healthy way a long time into an uncertain future.”
Stephen A. Mouzon
SustainabilitySustainability“The state-of-the-art mega-suburbs of recent decades have produced horrendous levels of alienation, loneliness, anomie, anxiety, depression, and we may all be better off without them... We have been the only nation among the so-called advanced ones to sacrifice our traditional cities and towns so remorselessly to suburbia.”
James Howard Kunstler
SustainabilitySustainability“America finds itself nearing the end of the cheap-oil age having invested its national wealth in a living arrangement– suburban sprawl– that has no future. When media commentators cast about struggling to explain what has happened in our country economically, they uniformly overlook the colossal misinvestment that suburbia represents– a prodigious, unparalleled misallocation of resources.”
James Howard Kunstler
