You are right about the personal exchanges.  My bad.  I apologize.

Beyond that, it's apparent that Mr. Proyect either is backtracking from his
stated opinion, or isn't willing to expose it to debate.  I strongly suspect
the latter, but 'nuff said.  A world without cities is as scary an idea as
it is an impossible one.  Every socialist (and every thoughtful person)
knows cities as they are now aren't sustainable, but that trite observation
is a world apart from saying "urban life is unsustainable."  But that's a
trite observation, too, isn't it?

Peace.
