New Urbanist Seaside Paradise Celebrates 25 Years | The American Conservative
"Artistry in our daily surroundings is a bulwark against the ravages of entropy—the force in the universe that shoves things toward disorder, stasis, and death. Conscious artistry is the physical expression of our gratitude for being, which puts us in the realm of the sacred. Seaside is an early harbinger of where history is taking us: into a lean future that will surely compel us to act differently, value things differently, and build places where we stake our lives with much more care and love."

Columbia, MD wa the first planned community (at least the first one I ever heard of). I well remember that the collective "we" laughed at it. That wasn't "community" (we thought). Well, he who laughs last, laughs best. For 30 years I owned a house in a planned community, Mission Viejo, CA. It was well-planned. Broad boulevards connecting individual subdivisions provided rapid transit between them and with connections to the freeways. Schools, shopping, and public services were well distributed. Lots of parks and greenbelts gave it visual appeal. Disneylandish? I suppose so, but isn't Disneyland the "Happiest Place on Earth"?
