Is this a survey on what you'd like to see or what you think you'll see?

like to see: smaller, well-built homes constructed in well-planned communities. Planning commissions must not be pushovers to developers. Don't build communities without the proper infrastructure.

think you'll see: apartments and small homes, because folks can't afford to heat and cool the bigger homes. Bloggers report monthly utility bills ranging from $350-600/month for dinky 1500 SF homes in inland CA and Arizona.

Americans have been pushed towards the consume and destroy mentality and homes are not exempt from this theme. A transition towards well-designed and well-constructed homes would require a massive change in America, and I'm not sure anyone is truly prepared to embrace that change.
