Why Urbanism (New Or Otherwise) Can't Work

You want to know why New Urbanism is doomed? I've talked about it before, but I still can't understand why people seem to crave it. So there's this angle (I'm only providing the link, not the headline).

Why on Earth do people think it's so great, living in constant close proximity to so many other humans, when humanity has proven TIME AND AGAIN, and especially over the past 40 years, that there is no civility, no consideration for others?
So others will use laws to restrict the free association and movement of other human beings, denying their rights "for the good of the community." And so many of these people also complain about losing their "right to privacy." Wake up, idiots...you asked for this and I won't shed one tear for you.

"Sprawl" might not be "sustainable" but at least it's relatively private.
Thanks for reading along.
