How America Bankrupted its Cities - The Growth Ponzi Scheme

quote [ This is the 3rd video in the Strong Towns series, and is probably the most important core topic: the fact that American car-dependant cities are financially insolvent, and function like a Ponzi scheme. This is the reason most American cities are bankrupt. ]

The Strong Towns project is awesome in its impact and simplicity. It's like the Origin Of Species for city development.

Hell, real estate investment itself is a Ponzi scheme, for the most part.
