  "In looking at these photos, it is important to question why this type of development existed in the first place. It is absurd that people were paying nearly half a million dollars to live 70 miles on a heavily congested freeway from the nearest major cities (Oakland or San Jose). Living more centrally, but in a smaller house or an apartment, seems like not only a better choice for the future of the planet but eminently preferable to spending four hours in traffic every day." Yeah, good luck getting people to think that: "hey, you, American: downgrade your expectations for your family!"
