Just out of curiousity: of those of you opposing Speck's suggestions, how many major urban centers have you visited outside of Oklahoma? Have you read Speck's book, "Suburban Nation," or any other books about urban design? How much of your opinion is based on what you've always known and experienced here in Oklahoma City?
In other words, I have to ask: how do you know it's not broken if you've not seen it functioning properly?
