    I think this is a great idea and I like the fact that it referred to it as "old urbanism" because it's not really a new idea, but a remake of the old. Once everyone gets to the point where they can appreciate diversity we will all be better off. Moving to the suburbs was all about status for some and for others a means of being segregated.
