Urban beehives is just the right description. I went to a lecture on New Urbanism a couple of weeks ago. The guy talked like he was preaching to the choir. (And with the exception of me, hew was.)
I always worry about those people since my house is prime property for the city to want condos and townhomes. When I mentioned my distaste for New Urbanism to someone I knew, they just walked away without comment.
People like me should be isolated from society, LOL!
