[What is New Urbanism anyway?]

do you like urbanism or are you here just to troll the boards with messages bashing what people here are all about? cities were never built around the car, nor should they ever be. maybe you should consider joining suburbanplanet if you want to use your car for everything. i don't think i've ever been to a city where no one walked and everyone drove because they were designed so things were inaccessible to those walking.

and did you ever stop and consider that the cost of gas and the wear and tear on your car is bringing up the prices of the stuff you buy at best buy to those that you could be buying at the local place?

[What is New Urbanism anyway?]

Ok, say new urbanism is the widespread norm. My favorite bakery is in the next town, the doctor I like is two towns away, and I now have to drive 20+ minutes to the old suburban sprawl to get to bestbuy because the local electronics shop is more expensive due to the small amount of people it caters. Is new urbanism really an answer? I think we should be designing cities around a 5-10 minute car drive, not a 5-10 minute walk.
