"The ULI made some thoughtful suggestions, but it will be difficult to
bring these ideas to reality. There must also be changes to some basic
premises embedded deep in our subconscious:
"*Land is a commodity to be bought and sold like any other.
"*Unrestricted automobility is a basic American right.
"* The largest possible house on the largest possible lot is analogous
to the 'pursuit of happiness' that comes after life and liberty.
"Our charge now, armed with an infusion of achievable ideas, is to examine thes
e premises that we all allow to shape our thinking, reinvent our vision of Bois
e, create new zoning codes, and just do it."
