Go back 100 years and tell people you have this idea for a great new city where no one will have to walk or ride a horse. And instead of talking to each other they will ride by themselves in a car for 2 hours each day. If they want groceries they'll have to drive and buy preserved stuff shipped from halfway across the world. If they want exercise they'll drive to another spot.

I don't really like this Tempe development but it's worth thinking about what we currently have and are so eager to defend.
