Man did I get a kick out of this letter and answer on Salon. It’s an advice column, and the advisor is surprisingly with-it in regards to new urbanism. The comments section is amusing, most people have little or no sympathy for what they see as a rich dude bitching, but it just illustrates how many people really don’t get it–they don’t think about or understand how much our daily environment affects us. I of course, also wrote a letter.
Then the infamous Gawker picked up on it, saying the advisor suggested the advisee move to “Fantasy Land“. Guess what Gawker? I live there, and it may be a fantasy, but it’s not imgainary. Look it up–Bradburn Village in Westminster, Colorado–and yeah it rocks, so stick that in your cap and go back to hating everything (which is admittedly why I like you!).
