"We're literally stuck up a cul-de-sac in a cement SUV without a fill-up" - James Howard Kunstler

Global oil peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of the future? This is a short version of "The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream", a documentary about the end of the age of cheap oil.

1. Cities have been changing for about 10 years now

and suburban poverty now exceeds inner city poverty.

We're going back to the days of the wealthy living in the center of the town or city and the poorer people living outside it where the factories the rich own are situated.

So yes, we're reverting to the classical pattern of inner opulence and outer desperation.
