@David: You have to appreciate that while houses arent being torn down whole sale, there is a shift to densification that is being encouraged by tax subsidies, law changes, and simply spending tax money on one thing and not another. Its not outright coercion, but its about as close as our government can come.

That said, I think its a smart policy and I prefer densification and encouraging people to live together. Its not just me, as you know, there are a ton of accomplished and smart people who are advancing this agenda.

Of course, my point is, there were a ton of really smart and accomplished people in the 1950s too.

One of the biggest repeated mistakes of our past as a human race is always thinking that we've finally got it figured out this time. But, repeatedly, we're proven wrong. My only point is I wonder how the future proves us wrong again...
