Park districts, nature preserves, and nature centers

Good Words

As energy costs go up, the ability to move further and further off is going to be impeded. I think there will be a slow change, an evolution over the next 15 to 20 years. It will be a movement not just back to the city, but to higher density, and to less of a tendency to move far out on the fringe.

— Kenneth Jackson, author of the Crabgrass Frontier, on how increasing energy costs and declining housing prices will slow the grow of new suburbs
