Leesburg, Virginia was a small dot on the map when I moved to Washington in 1964. Today, it's a historic core surrounded by development based on our society's love for the automobile. I haven't been there in twenty years. Even then, it was overrun with cars. As Ben Adler writes in The American Prospect, its probably too late for Leesburg, but not for other towns and counties that find themselves part of exurbia.
This is s nice companion piece to today's post on planning strategies in Flint. Michigan. Thanks to James Joyner and Outside the Beltway for the story.
