Yes, but what people like or consider aesthetically pleasing changes over time. Why do people or towns have to accept one role model? Kunstler likes a certain kind of city or town. Fine. Why do we have accept his determination on what looks good and what doesn't? I'm not even saying that I disagree with Kunstler on what is aesthetically pleasing, but who made him Commissar of Aesthetics? The fact is many libs don't like growth. They'd like everyone to live in tiny boxes in huge cities with no automobiles.
Ummm, that would be me now. But this isn't by choice.
