Erik,

I personally would like to see the Long Emergency happen. If and when it does occur, it will force everyone to modify their lifestyles. All of the other pieces will then fit into place.

Once faced with the reality that they can no longer live in suburbs and drive large SUVs, things will finally start to change. Unfortunately, the United States could fight wars to get oil. It has already started one.

I liked the second half better.

Perhaps you will read his book the Geography of Nowhere next, which is his critique on urban design book.

Most consider it his best work.

That said, I greatly enjoyed Kunstler's presentation, even though I found much to disagree with. That the crowd at the Theatre on the Square was near capacity, if not sold out, was incredible

The interest in rebuilding Tacoma's neighborhoods and downtown grows in numbers and in passion.
