A manifesto to adopt

Finally, someone did it. Legalize Neighborhoods Again! is a great manifesto. It outlines historical reasons for the growth of suburbia and principles to adopt. It identifies the most immediate causes and solutions to break the bad pattern of growth. I also like that it recognizes traffic engineers as master problem solvers once constraints are lifted, instead of chronic do-badders. But I would say it doesn't go far enough in emphasizing places as anchors in a neighborhood though it's definitely getting there.
