agriburbia

Here's a brilliant idea. I've developed an irrational feeling that can best be described as fear of suburbs (suburphobia?) over the past few years. I don't know if it's somehow related to my growing up in the suburbs and my tremendous unpopularity in high school or if it's an inevitable result of living in the city for too long (hence the common Atlanta fear of "OTP" among those of us who live "ITP"). Whatever the reason, I'm actually less afraid of break-ins and broken glass than I am of strip malls and billboards. But this article offers a vision of a suburbia I'd be happy to live in.
