The idea of the New Urbanists wanting to force everyone through their prism is usually promulgated by those with a similarly myopic view point.

I don't know who you're talking about, but you're right that it's a bit of the gimmick, like the grays v. whites or Eisenman/Krier. There are plenty of CNU members building in cities, they just don't get to write the zoning code and package the whole deal, so it just looks like urbanism.

I used to recommend Kunstler to people, but he's too problematic and there are too many good alternatives now to suggest even The Geography of Nowhere anymore.
