A Response To Criticism Of New Urbanism
O.K. Carter responsds to an op-ed criticizing urban planner John Fregonese and New Urbanism.
Basically the NCPA doesn't like the consequences of denser New Urbanism-style development with which [John Fregonese] is associated, as opposed to the traditional sprawl orientation of cities like Arlington -- perhaps the queen mother of American sprawl.
...yes, every Fregonese plan...ends up with commercial areas that are highly accessible to pedestrian traffic.
So what's the problem with that? Answer: not a thing."
