**Desperate Housewife Territory**

We've always been interested in urban sprawl, the emptiness of suburban life, and the potential for downtown urban revival. According to [this article](http://www.architecturemag.com/architecture/reports%5Fanalysis/design%5Fdisplay.jsp?vnu%5Fcontent%5Fid=1000780668&ref=thedailyeudemon.com) from *Architecture Magazine*, there is no downtown urban revival, so we better start helping the suburbs develop into something more than sprawling developments that feature desperation and isolation from others. Here's an excerpt:

“To many urbanists, the rise of suburbia represents the death-knell of the city. Yet if the traditional city has lost its once overpowering relevance, it still has much to teach the suburbs. Sprawl has given people and families a strategy for adapting to urban dysfunction–antibusiness governments, unworkable schools, lack of green space–but it has not always addressed other issues adequately, notably the need for community, identity, sacred space, and a closer relation between workplace and home life.”
