Professor King

The title really is just one of my Professor's names, who has the good fortune to have the surname of King. Quite befitting of her style, in a way that I think Plato would approve of.

Too bad the class she teaches is duller than bricks.

Things to pay attention to:
1) Rapid transportation (if you have a car)
2) 'Useless' green space; every house has a yard, the houses are all one or two story.
3) All the cars.

American Suburbs

Things to pay attention to:
1) Really Narrow Streets
2) Buildings close together (usually multistory)
3) No cars.
Italian Village


English Village

Chinese Village



America has to switch from this farmhouse style town to a model of urban and suburban development that incorporates village and pedestrian life, while excluding cars and the current standards of 'farmhouse' suburban sprawl.
