Erik defends suburbia

As you likely know, I'm an urban dweller and a self-proclaimed champion of urban causes. But I do not believe that the suburbs are the root of all evil, either. I grew up in the Tacoma suburbs so they can't be all bad, right?

The Tacoma Sun offered me a chance to write a long article about something that doesn't get a lot of mention on the "blogosphere" or in print media, so I decided to defend the suburbs ... at least a little bit. I do believe that what happens in the suburbs has a lot to do with happens here in downtown Tacoma.

Thanks again to the Sun for the chance to write! Here's the article.
