Then we went to OurWorld.com, a site aimed at ages 11 to 15, that she had never seen. “It looks much more three-dimensional,” Clementine said, heading into the Buzz Coffee House where six users with names like Air Death milled. She pointed to a user named Xzibit and mused, “He’s working as a barista behind the counter.” He was? “LET ME HAVE A SHIFT” she typed. In response, Xzibit asked her to be his friend. She accepted. Then she started making coffee. “I might hang out on this one for awhile,” she said. “But I wanted you to show me Dizzywood,” I said. “I heard you hang out there a lot.” “Not anymore,” she said. “That site got way too crowded. You can’t walk around without knocking into people.” - Christian

Is Suburbia Turning Into Slumburbia?

People still need to live somewhere. It seems unlikely that these houses will simply sit empty for a long time. - Paul Buchheit

This article is mostly a paraphrase of the original Atlantic article (http://www.theatlantic.com/doc...). The claim is not that they will be empty, but that they will be occupied by poor people. - ⓞnor

"Indeed, the fact that Americans are embracing walkable neighborhoods is a good thing for their waistlines, their pocketbooks and the planet. "(Al) Gore talks about the inconvenient truth," says Norquist, "I call this the convenient solution: living in a more urban way." - Chris White

When Liz abandoned her house in Indianapolis (purchased at the peak of the boom), a bum moved in. He even got the electricity turned on for a while. A tree had grown roots through the plumbing before she left, so their was no water. But she had left couches and stuff for living. He doesn't seem to be there anymore, but as far as she can tell the bank still hasn't foreclosed and she left about 2 years ago. Maybe he found someplace better. - Clare Dibble

I like that the Atlantic article mentions Reston as the faux urban development. That's where the DC Accenture office is. When people describe it to people who have never seen it, the common phrase is "It's freaky, it's like the Truman show". . . and it really, really is. It's the modern Levittown. - Sarah Miller

Interesting. Was that a nice neighborhood Clare, or was it more like Detroit? (which apparently has a large number of abandoned houses) I wonder why the bank doesn't foreclose -- is the house + land really worthless? - Paul Buchheit

It wasn't a "nice" neighborhood, but certainly reasonable. Nothing like Detroit. People live(d) in the houses around there. Things weren't kept up beautifully, but they weren't falling into total decay either. I'd heard it wasn't the safest place, but I did not feel unsafe while visiting. My car was not broken into overnight (this was back when I had the civic). It had a nice yard with some big, old trees. It was on the south side and it is the north side of Indy that has really grown lately. - Clare Dibble
