Comment:
     We can't go on building more and more distant suburbs.  Not
only does this force people to drive further to work and prevent
much use of public transportation, but it also harms our water
supply, recreation, and animal habitats.  Building distant suburbs
necessitates miles of roads and huge parking lots, in addition to
the space occupied by the homes themselves.  Covering up land with
concrete prevents rainwater from percolating down to replenish
ground water.  Instead it runs of picking up worn rubber, oil, pet
feces, etc.  Thus the rainwater, which we desparately need, becomes
"run-off", a disposal problem.
