The authors describe the initial flight from city centers to the outskirts as "exodus en mass" - everyone left the city to get away from everyone else, simultaneously. Resulting in the cluster fuck we have today.

Well the hole is already being dug. We should of restricted sprawl 15 years ago. Now were stuck with this awful infrastructure.
Its fine to agree their is a problem but we need to start putting pressure on people.
And I'm not just talking about the government but the people themselves.
The weath of this city is going further out over the overpass, living in the city is becoming more and more a sign one isn't established on the avalon.
