James Howard Kunstler: The Tragedy of Suburbia

Posted by chris on February 15, 2009

This is a quick 20 minute talk on urban sprawl and how we need to redesign our cities in response to the coming end of oil. Kunstler clearly and concisely states we will not be saved by some great technology soon to be discovered. We must change our behavior drastically, redesign our cities, and invest in public infrastructure. Furthermore we must stop referring to ourselves as consumers and become responsible, neighborly citizens. The days of the 3000 mile Caesar salad are numbered.

Warning: Mr. Kunstler drops the F-bomb during his discussion and has some other commentary that may not be suitable for children.
