Dear Mr Hoffman, Thank you very much to have taken the time to respond. I think you have a good idea of why the suburbs were built. Like many ideas or inventions or innovations, we only see the effects much later. Smart phones have been here a relatively short period of time, but I think they have become the opium of the people. They have high-jacked the global population. I think the mistake of the suburbs was to use so much of the land for relatively few people. The homes were beautiful, but I think that people became cut-off from interacting with each other. Television came to the rescue of course, and people watched people working on TV. What I think is the worst thing is that the suburbs automized people to where the only walk they had was from the garage to the easy-chair. Booze tranquilized everyone and then gated communities sanitized the way of living to where we are today. I believe we have to dismantle the suburbs, free the land up for nature to take back control, and have people go back to living in close proximity to each other in buildings where there are loads of people crossing paths each day on busy streets full of shops. I believe one should be able to walk to do one’s shopping for every possible need. The suburbs are kind of a physical TV. They keep people apart, make people less intelligent by dumbing us down, everyone tries to out-bling the neighbors, the sameness and same financial level kill all kinds of spiritual things in humans along with dulling minds and generating fewer ideas. I think we have to leave living in the open spaces to farmers. It’s only an opinion, but I believe suburbs rob people of the ability to overcome a lot of psychological problems that only living close to other people can do. Exceptions of course are the people who have prospered living on leafy winding streets and inventing the PC etc. Peace -
