...The One-Minute Pundit

Friday, March 14, 2008


I have a hunch "slumburbia" won't happen. Poverty has never hit the fringes and I'd suspect the neighboring affluent burgs will annex the property and demolish abandoned houses before allowing ghettos in their midsts. Also the comparison to France seems inexact; if I'm not mistaken their suburbs center around state housing projects, unlike the alleged new slums, which are entirely and proudly Babbitt-made.
