As a kid who grew up in a suburban neighborhood in the 1950's, I have been noticing these glitches for a long time, and wondering how to make best use, societally as well as familially, of what we now have in our suburbs and cities.Your analysis is, it seems to be, helpful in understanding where we have been and where we might be headed. Thanks for sharing it on Medium.And here's a thought: how about families de-emphasizing appearances, and returning to agricultural productivity, by planting food-producing gardens in their vast yards, instead of ornamentals?
