Suburban Terror
I think I have finally found The Last Angry Man. He is James Howard Kunstler, a fierce opponent of suburban sprawl. WARNING: This video contains profanity. WARNING: This video contains some terrific anger, great humor, and fascinating insights. I’m pleased to recommend it.

I’m a great fan of the TED talks. I find them nearly universally useful and inspiring.
This talk was of a particularly high caliber. Somehow I had missed it. Thank you.
