I also think we need to get used to living closer to our jobs and stores, get used to riding the bus and train and ships, which are the easiest forms of travel to convert from oil to alternate sources of energy and higher prices for everything.
The future will look more like Japan and Europe and less like June and Ward Cleaver.
Oddly the lifestyle of Lucy and Ricky is more sustainable, at least in the early years in NYC.
