The Greatest Misallocation of Resources in the History of the World Placemakers

    • Society & Culture

How do you solve a problem like the suburbs? For one man in Arizona, it
means creating an agricultural utopia, replete with picket fences and a community
garden. He was inspired by one of our era's  most scathing critics of suburban
sprawl: James Howard Kunstler. We'll hear from both about what happens when
you try to remedy what Kunstler calls “the greatest misallocation of resources in the
history of the world.”
