These have been built around Williamsburg. They wind up being masses of paved surfaces for the most part. None are particularly beloved. Perhaps “new urbanism” should actually come up with something new. As they say, everything old is new again. For example, why not provide spaces for people to build for themselves? We used to do that in this country. I live in a house built by a family in 1959. Next to a house built by a family in 1956. Now, housing like “new towns” are exclusively the domain of massive corporations and government funds. Which is why people push back, though the results quite often speak for themselves.
