It is good to see Kunstler's fervent advocacy for the American city and a recognition that our built environment is broken. However, one has to question Kunstler's conservative acceptance of new urbanism and its results (Seaside FL) and complete loathing of modernism. Going back to pre-industrial city is no longer a possibility and to move forward we have to learn from all hte architectural knowledge, not just the one we like.
Sadly, the virtual world in perpetuating the suburban myth copying it uncritically.
