"Go ahead and denounce the soullessness of planned communities and condo villages and exurban developments. But it's ways out there, amid the new towns are barely charted byways, that the American dream is most largely lived." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article examines the increasing number of Americans moving "from the inner suburbs to the outer suburbs, to the suburbs of suburbia. From New Hampshire down to Georgia, across Texas to Arizona and up through California, you now have the booming exurban sprawls that have broken free of the gravitational pull of the cities and now float in a new space far beyond them."
