When City and Country Collide: Managing Growth in the Metropolitan Fringe

I found this book to be a thorough and thoughtful analysis of suburban sprawl issues in America. Daniels is a fluid writer, and his work is very accessible. He is careful to identify terms that are relevent to a comprehensive understanding of sprawl, and does not promote ridiculous, hard-core left dramatic changes as the only solution. However, I would appreciate more perspective on what the actual housing needs of Americans are; he leaps to the conclusion (like so many) that sprawl is caused by the wealthiest citizens. Where, then, do the (dwindling) working and middle classes live? Do they not require homes and services?
