Interesting film
I just watched a really interesting film, called The End of Suburbia. Recommended viewing!
Basically, it's about the consequences of peak oil and beyond on the unsustainable American way of life, with people commuting insane distances between their homes in suburbia and their work. As oil gets more and more expensive, there will probably be a movement back into American cities/towns. People will look to live and work closer; and with a bit of positive thinking and effort towns could become more liveable with more cycling, walking and social interaction.
