High Gas Prices vs. Suburban Sprawl

Good article here for my friend on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, who serves as my suburban sprawl expert. It seems that driving into and out of the District of Columbia from South Riding, Virginia (30 or so miles) is becoming a crimp on Guy Saffel. Guy, his wife and son struggle to get by in their 6000 square foot hovel, while he is conveyed hither and yon in his Yukon Denali. "We fell into the trap of our neighbors", says poor Guy.

Bullshit. You fell into the trap of your own greed. Enjoy the ride, Guy.

The article states, "the lush lawn of the Brady's." Ahem, I believe that the Brady's lawn was Astroturf. The Wash Post.com could have used a better metaphor.
