Not one, but two TED lectures relevant to topics in today's lecture:
The themes from the Fast Company video on transit-oriented development receive a more acerbic but very funny treatment by James Howard Kunstler. It starts, "The immersive ugliness of our everyday environments in America is entropy made visible," and only gets better.
Individual choice is one of the values or objectives central to traditional transportation interests. Barry Schwartz points to the fact that increased choice may actually decrease quality of life.
Really good finds. Worth watching! Thanks for the links.
