.... I remember some planning guru arguing that most Americans live their lives in three boxes: house, car, and workplace. His argument was that we were limiting our connections to our community in the way we structure where we live, where we work, and how we get to and from those places. I’m not doing his argument justice here, but I think there is some truth in that. But not only do we try to keep the physical aspects of our lives neatly compartmentalized; we also try to box our successes and failures, and our grief and our joy. If you spend any time on public transit, you’ll quickly realize that there is a portion of the population that isn’t boxed up in the same way ...
Interesting perspective from Suburban/Urbanist
