I don't really agree with the blog entry from Vanishing New York about Young Urban Narcissists. In the past, Dan M. has made the point that these days most people grow up and live in suburbs, so of course, how they approach the world is patterned by this. (It's what I call the dominant planning paradigm of the last 50 years, deconcentration, single use zones connected by automobility.)

But the entry is funny with some great overwritten photographs, and the point about suburbanizing the cities, while one that many have made, cannot ever be ignored.
