...agreement is an insistence that lower-income housing be included. Both articles point out a trend toward upper-income New Towns; but as graduate student David Dasch observes, no town can exist without garbage men. Two basic assumptions in the design of New Towns seem to be that green expanses should be maximized, and ranch houses eliminated...
...down again. "The Chinkos have two poles-a red one and a white one-to signal each other," said the junior Indian officer.

In medieval Paris, the streets were open sewers, but the Seine flowed so clearly that from the bridges it was possible to see fish swimming among the stones and green plants on the bottom.
