That title is hilarious. I'm all for functional, thoughtful new urbanism as I'm sure we all are, especially relative to the alternative. But even the sleekest, densest, most efficient new urbanist development will never come close to the real thing, particularly if the real thing is found in a city like Chicago. Comparing that clown show that is Schaumburg to actual urban living would be like suggesting that sitting in a desk and staring at a blackboard is the same thing as going to university for four years. If you want to play make believe then that is certainly your prerogative. But you're missing the point entirely!
