Yes.. that is so true. I get frustrated with people who
listen to self-prophesing seers who have predictions of the
future.. and when that time in the future arrives and is
unfulfilled no one challenges the original source of the
claim.
There will be large cities in the future, but they won't be
the delightful, efficient utopias we thought, not will the
be a model of the future. They will be the unfortunate
legacy of a past that we can't quite get rid of yet.
Stick around. We will be sure to challenge your predictions!
Og> ;) But your vision/opinion was very broad and general.
I'm not going to be bold as to predict specifics, I'm not sure. But I
can see cities in decline as we speak. If in 2030, a young man and woman
have a better change of living in a city, getting a good secure job,
buying a house, having a local community they belong to and are able to
travel around the city easily, than what the Boomers
had, I'll eat a sock.
