In all seriousness, watch The Wire. It gets you thinking and covers the topic well.

The Wire is fiction. The best place to observe the reality is Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia. I have driven through and parked and observed but never gotten out. The one thing the Wire got wrong was how densely packed everyone is... in Kensington Avenue people are only out and about to transact.
I opened the article and immediatly thought "oh this is a plan straight from the wire"

Knew someone was going to mention it :)
