We've had this discussion in other threads, and I don't think this is even possible. Can you name one of these "countless suburbs which have created true urbanity"?

If someone can name a version of "Southfield" that became a pedestrian/transit oriented community, I'm all ears. In the U.S., at least, such a place doesn't exist. No one has even come close, which is logical, because these places were built for the automobile.
