This article sounds a whole lot like every "housing of the future" ever written--except the flying cars have been split into robot cars for people and flying delivery drones for everything else.

And none of the authors ever seem to indicate any understanding of why the suburban housing development exist in its current form before hand-waving away all those real factors and baking up some pie-in-the-sky nonsense to support whatever their vision of the future may be.

We already know what a sustainable, efficient suburb looks like. It's a city block. But if people who live in suburbs actually wanted that, we'd have more urbs and fewer suburbs.
