Sprawling Madness

Posted on DateMarch 1, 2013 |

Angie Schmitt, writing for Streetsblog, on the absurdity of our sprawling development patterns:

Behold: Two houses with adjoining backyards in suburban Orlando. If you want to travel the streets from point A on Anna Catherine Drive to point B on Summer Rain Drive, which are only 50 feet apart, you’ll have to go a minimum of seven miles. The trip would take almost twenty minutes in a car, according to Google Maps.

Crazy!
