	Phoenix: You Aren't Doing It Right | Fail Dwell magazine calls the exurb developments of Phoenix "the worst in the U.S." in this month's article on Urban Planning Done Wrong. We hesitate to even call Phoenix a city; the decentralized home turf of Allied Waste would be best described as a 400-square-mile monument to sprawl, water waste, traffic bottlenecks, and crystal meth. Urban planning sometimes seems esoteric, but Phoenix offers a real-world reminder of why we need it. 08.sep.2008 culture design post a comment

Comment of the Week

"so, just to confirm, 2009 was the year of the entire outfit for under $100 from old navy, and 2010 is the year of making sure we always have a couple of $195 thomas pink shirts lying around? i, for one, approve of this new leaf we've turned over."
