Complacency is not an option.

Boosting Jobs with the Right Kind of Housing and Transportation Efforts

"The CEO of one of the nation’s largest homebuilders called me recently saying his drivable suburban business model was broken, it no longer works, but he does not understand how to develop the far more complex alternative."
"...without building the 'second half of the transportation system,' redeveloping our cities and transforming our suburbs with mixed-use, walkable development, we will be condemned to years of stagnation. The market wants it; it is more energy efficient, physically healthy, and it will provide over the next generation the same economic turbo-charge the building of the drivable suburbs provided over the past half century."
