Between a Rock and a Laugh Track

- James howard Kunstler -

Kunstler is a social planner and has written numerous articles on the ideal urban community. Here's an except from one called HOME FROM NOWHERE, published in the Atlantic Monthly: http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/96sep/kunstler/kunstler.htm

In that article he states: "The neighborhood is limited in physical size, with well-defined edges and a focused center. The size of a neighborhood is defined as a five-minute walking distance (or a quarter mile) from the edge to the center and a ten-minute walk edge to edge. Human scale is the standard for proportions in buildings and their accessories. Automobiles and other wheeled vehicles are permitted, but they do not take precedence over human needs, including aesthetic needs. The neighborhood contains a public-transit stop."

But note that in his ideal community he will "permit automobiles and other wheeled vehicles" but only if "they do not take precedence over human needs, including aesthetic needs." And who will determine those human or aesthetic needs???

Kunstler may well have some grand vision of an utopia society, but such grand visions usually end up as Orwellian States.
