Music to my ears

The NYT has an interesting rundown on some of the efforts to build car free communities. My brother lives in one of the new planned communities that were built in the last few years. While there is still plenty of room for cars (he has a garage) the community is planned with a central green corridor that leads to the shopping center. While it makes it easier to get to the store and there is rapid bus service to the airport, he still has to drive to work.
