whatever dude, you consider sprawl and auto centricity 'inevitable' which has been readily proven patently false by citizens' efforts in Portland and other communites (Golden CO as an example) that fight sprawl to increase livability.

Danarlond, rallying false cries against developing new urbanism and best practices of urban design (still applicable in suburbs!) that encourage livable walkable communities is so last century. Autos first and foremost, sprawl, intolerable commutes, high transportation costs, congested roadways, because americans want it that way? a laughable misread of current urban planning in america, dude.

go read the quote from the portland bikemaster plan draft- seems citizens there had an effective course of action despite claims of inevitable sprawl..... and exercised their freedom of choice thru the political process to enact it.
