This actually makes me curious about how much the housing crisis we find ourselves in now relates to America's love affair with the car. Afterall, the explosion of suburbia goes hand in hand with that love affair. Perhaps it's a chicken-or-the-egg problem....

... but maybe not. Maybe if it weren't the demand of car-centric transportation systems, and thus car-centric city planning, perhaps the housing we would have otherwise built would have avoided the housing crisis we're sweating over now. Or would have at least mitigated the crazy supply and demand problems we're facing.
