Our communities are not sustainable when individuals must rely on automobiles to get everything done. The damage caused by our automobile culture makes the headlines everyday. People love the freedoms of our automobile culture, and people ignore the consequences of our automobile culture.

Rather than every building having one function, we can minimize use of automobiles by having multi-function buildings. Rather than having homes seperate from workplaces, we can emphasize working from home using modern technologies. Rather than having production seperate from consumption, we can emphasive prosumption by having people produce what they consume.
