Review
"If Clinton and Gore are really serious about reinventing government, there is a genuinely revolutionary idea they might try: abolish the suburbs. This is a serious suggestion. David Rusk, formerly the mayor of Albuquerque, makes the case in his new book, appropriately titled Cities Without Suburbs... Whoever gave more prosperous citizens the right to secede from the larger community anyway?" -- Mickey Kaus, New Republic
