This is a book that was published 30 years ago. I may have Chemo Brain, but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. I *am* on an infusion of 5-FU as I type, which could be an acronym for what I'd like to say to them.

A human being with actual marketing experience would have taken a look at the Amazon page and seen instantly that it is out of print (being only available through resellers is a pretty good indication). They would have also known that since it's a TV tie-in, it was very likely a work for hire.

Should they do that they'll be training on a lot of my "stop contacting me through DM!" responses.

Awesome! I also live in a very red area. There is evidence that high density development along the light rail lines work, but it gets ignored.

And the NIMBYs here hate it.

There is a movement in the direction of more dense development, though.

Everything you said about commuting holds true here. I do take the train into downtown Dallas, but I don't have reason to go there often.

I live in the Dallas area and we are having this debate right now. It's not just about cars. Land is still plentiful, so we have massive sprawl. Friends from other places visit and can't believe how spread out it all is.
