I'm with ya. Have you read books by James Howard Kunstler? I'm a
little more in favour of architectural experimentation than he is, but
I basically think he's the man. His book "Home From Nowhere" has some
pretty good, pretty realistic ideas on how to save cities. He has a
pretty good site up at http://www.kunstler.com/index.html .
