Good read!

Whenever I travel back to the states, my time is usually divided between NYC and suburban Philly. What a difference! The culture shock of empty streets is just depressing. In the 70´s housing developers started breaking the Levittown grid/mold and introduced cul-de-sacs and curved street grids and of course these are scaled to cars and not humans. Huge wide bends and curves that follow no topography. The result is if you wish to walk somewhere, you are constantly walking around something. I wonder what band-aid solution the next generation of developers are thinking about.
