Exactly!  We might finally begin to end destructive dualisms such as
city:country, urban:suburban, reserve:everywhere else.  In fact, these
dualisms are false.  All are inter-dependent.  One
allows/perpetuates/defines/comes at the expense of the other.  Chasing the
ideal of "country living" perpetuates sprawl and encourages the notion that
its okay for our cities to be ecological wastelands.  Humans must densify.
We need to.  But why not work towards incorporating country/ecology/habitat
into the urban environment?  All would benefit.
