Mook - surely you've read the "Caves of Steel" ...? Roonas Send a noteboard - 29/03/2017 02:27:28 AM

Asimov saw megalopolis in our future - and I still agree with him. Just look to how we consider the metro-NYC-PH-NJ corridor and not to mention the way of Upstate New York and it's decline under the Cuomo regimen (no, not regime). It's just a gradual process is all, it'll probably take a few hundred years yet but baring a true catastrophe' - or maybe b/c of one we'll see it come to fruition.

Just my guess,

And yes, didn't read the article, or many of the comments past the titles - didn't come here to argue, only to say: "Hi!".

"Howdy Mook!"

-Roon

-Roonas.

Interesting how your article takes almost the opposite position from yours... Legolas - 27/03/2017 05:53:57 PM 548 Views
I think you missed my point damookster - 27/03/2017 06:50:02 PM 455 Views
Or your point just didn't make any sense. Legolas - 27/03/2017 06:59:15 PM 495 Views
It's simple, really damookster - 27/03/2017 07:14:14 PM 572 Views
Fine, we'll just have to agree to disagree then. *NM* Legolas - 27/03/2017 07:25:03 PM 283 Views

Other than some phrasing issues, sounds like we agree pretty much across the board actually. *NM* Legolas - 27/03/2017 07:22:57 PM 226 Views
My own beliefs are probably closer to yours, but I'm conflicted about them. *NM* damookster - 27/03/2017 07:42:53 PM 225 Views
We are *very* close.... Jeordam - 27/03/2017 10:16:06 PM 519 Views

Personally I actually see the US as a rather decentralized country already. Legolas - 27/03/2017 06:51:31 PM 506 Views
In my opinion damookster - 27/03/2017 07:29:29 PM 496 Views
After the first dirty bomb goes off there will be some demographic shifts Tom - 27/03/2017 07:35:23 PM 525 Views
do you think a dirty bomb event in a major city is inevitable? *NM* damookster - 27/03/2017 07:45:24 PM 241 Views
I think an actual nuclear detonation in a major city is eventually inevitable Tom - 28/03/2017 06:24:26 PM 504 Views
Didn't the Chechens build a dirty bomb that was never detonated? damookster - 28/03/2017 06:48:01 PM 502 Views

You don't live in a city. You live in a town masquerading as a city. *NM* Tom - 28/03/2017 06:25:21 PM 243 Views

And here's the big dichotemy about it.... Jeordam - 28/03/2017 08:26:37 PM 553 Views
I dislike the idea less than I thought, but the implicit claim that cities are more segregated? No. Ghavrel - 28/03/2017 08:19:05 PM 536 Views
I don't know if I would fully agree with that statement. Jeordam - 28/03/2017 08:45:53 PM 639 Views
