Sprawl: People who know me know that I really, really like land use issues. No, I don't have a vibrant social life, why do you ask?
But I bet you too will think land use is interesting after you read "Sprawl" by Robert Bruegmann! It's all about suburbs and turns upside-down the notion that they are all icky and stifling. Basically he's the anti-Kunstler.
So, city mice, country mice, and suburb mice, explain yourselves! Dense populations or miles of countryside? Or both?
