    Urban sprawl is part of the problem, not the solution.

      There is more to spreading out than urban sprawl. Our towns and even villages used to largely self-contained. Now you’re lucky to find a bank, a bakery, a grocery store, and a hardware store in the same place outside of something big enough to be called a city.

      People talk about walkable cities, by which they mean that people can walk to most of their normal goods and services. What is that but a town/village model for communities?
