J. H. Crawford

My favorite book is to provide enough detail to convince that Crawford is not a utopia vision. He carefully examined all the problems. His plan applies to existing technology. If the devil is in detail, he drives out the devil.

The first part of this book explains the situation in California's cities. He outlined all the drawbacks he called Auto Center City. He explained the cost of health, economics and sociology. In my case, he preaches to choirs, but this part is still very interesting.

The second part and the main part of the book explain how to achieve his vision. He emphasized that current technology is innovative, but it uses the subway to transport goods. Includes an interesting tutorial on container transport, which is a major component of his plan. While reading this article, I was able to imagine life in a city without a car. Please walk to the public transport for up to 5 minutes, then slowly ride to 25 minutes and then walk for 5 minutes. It is 35 minutes from anywhere in the city, up to 1 million people to other places. Each subway and tram station is the center of a separate area where he can see the European style square where the streets spread. On a narrow street there are plenty of shops, houses, parks, pedestrians, meet each other and greet each other. This is the place I want to live in!

In the last part of the book, he explains how to achieve his vision. Before he is popular, I understand that the plan must be tested and completed before it can be trusted. You need to try out the first single zone. Then you need to redesign some of the existing cities. He listed enough public transport to make sure there are no cars in several cities. Surprisingly, Manhattan is one of them. Finally, Mr. Crawford cited several special situations in which a city without cars was particularly attractive. I especially like his idea about the homeless retiree community.

If the city is noisy, there are many people, polluted, or if you think that huge suburbs are not ideal, I strongly recommend purchasing this book most strongly. You may first want to visit the attached website [...]

JH Crawford says, " "In a city, cars are not absolutely necessary - in many respects it is contrary to the fundamental purpose of the city - that many people gather and create social, cultural and economic synergies It is creating a space that can be used. Because cars require a lot of space for movement and parking, it does not contribute to this goal.

William Crawford: Almost forgotten today, William Crawford in Georgia is a powerful politician who served as Senator and served as Finance Minister of James Madison. He was considered a strong candidate for the President, but the stroke of 1823 was partially embarrassing him and could not speak. Nevertheless, some politicians still support his candidacy. Andrew Jackson is famous for his temper and he is very angry. When John Quincy Adams appointed Henry Clay as his Secretary of State, Jackson condemned the election as "corrupt negotiations." Many people think Clay has sold his influence to Adams, so he can serve as secretary of state, hence increasing his chances of becoming the president.

Election campaign in 1824 also focused on presidential election method. Among the election votes of 261, Andrew Jackson won 99 votes, JQ Adams 84, WH Crawford 41, and Henry Clay 37.9, because there were no candidates for electoral colleges under the constitutional provision of the House of Representatives. As the elections were limited to the top three in the list, the election entered the House of Representatives and Clay was excluded from the campaign campaign. House speaker Mr. Klein supported Adams elected by 13 state votes, Jackson elected seven states, Crawford elected four provinces. At that time, Jackson's failure in the House of Representatives was widely believed to be the result of "trading" between Adams and Clay who became Secretary of State of the Adams Cabinet.
