Interesting thought from the Wired “Observation Deck” – Designing Cities for People, Not Cars. Where in Charlottesville could this be done?
(I’m thinking that Stonefield was an opportunity.)

Interesting concept how do the materials reach those parts of the city? Who picks up the trash? Where is the grocery store? How do you get your home improvement stuff back from Lowes on your bike?
Taking the easy one first:
I think there were be fewer things to get from Lowe’s if people lived in smaller, smarter places. Also, there are ZipCars and the like.
Grocery store is there; I think services requiring frequent deliveries may be on the outskirts. Also, a greater, more efficient delivery service may be called for.
Trash could be greatly minimized by composting, re-using and more thoughtful living.
