"In the middle distance, check out the new playground for this Coatesville, PA, conventional apartment 'complex.' In perfect conformity with our knucklehead zoning laws, the playground occupies its own separate pod so as not to 'contaminate' the other 'activities' in the 'complex' with 'undesirable' byproducts -- i.e. the squeals of children at play. I like to imagine the attached parking lot implies that children will drive to the 'facility' themselves. But of course, the truth is that Mom will drive them there. Since they won't be walking, the tots will have to play extra-hard on the jungle gym to work off the calories from those super-sized Happy Meals they get off-site in the nearby fried food ghetto."

You are just not a very happy person, are you, John? and not the least bit excepting of others, as Liberals profess to be. I guess the Liberal tent isn't as big as they would like everyone to believe it is..I'm here to help and serve just like your local Police, I'll do my best to keep you on the straight and narrow, I'm sure you have good intentions all be them misguided, don't worry you'll grow up mentally "some day"..

Considering there's a fire hydrant in the foreground and what appears to be a freshly seeded lawn to the lesft, there is more than likely an apartment bulding or "soon-to-be" bulding just out of site. There may be another playground down the street, around the corner that is out of view of the picture. Remember John, things aren't always what they appear; especially when it's a point trying to be made by one "Sandy Sorlien of Philadelphia's University of the Arts", that title just screams "LIBERAL AGENDA!!!". Also as far as living there, I wouldn't live in Pennsylvania period.

"liberal agenda" ?? What is that again? This whole 'apartment complex' is based on the idea that we will have cheap oil forever. Guess what! The world will probably reach peak oil (50% of all oil used up) within 5 years. After that point, gas will never be cheaper ever again. And stupid un-walkable suburb-hell-zones like this one will become the prison's that small children already think they are.
