Who chose Kunstler? I confess.
I've read his books and "enjoyed" them. The Geography of Nowhere remains my favorite. I don't agree with all of his conclusions but believe he is thought provoking enough to make us look at what we are doing. He's had more coverage in these Forums than any other speaker we've had. I think his ideas for how villages should be designed to survive the future are right on. Jack Sobon is a big fan of his (he introduced him) and that was another reason since Jack was another major presence at Saratoga. Also, Kunstler lives in Saratoga and gave us a very good deal since he could walk to the Conference. It was an opportunity I felt we couldn't pass up.
