We've been doing that for years. Now it's called Urban Sprawl and it's evil. Haven't you heard? All other communities were limited in size, and if they exceeded the optimal level (I think it was 5000 inhabitants) the town was divided into two groups and one built a new town. They might have been on to something.

The size of a city is comparatively unimportant, just ask people from Canarsie or Morningside Heights in New York. Neighborhoods take on a human scale, if people are interested. Sure, there are commuters, but there were in the 50s too, as people moved out to the suburbs and continued to work in the urban core. That cannot be the answer...... As for communications, well, conservatives spend a lot of time deploring the trash that comes through the mass media too<VBG>...Actually, since my son is rarely alone, especially when he was a pre- teen, there was no need for a V- chip, and, in any case, the availability of provocative material on basic cable, before late night especially, is exaggerated.......
