He makes a good living being an apologist for sprawl -- book sales, speaking fees, etc. I'm guessing he believes what he says, but it's also presumably very lucrative.

Based on short articles, he seems to omit the effects of expensive oil on middle class preferences, which is making inner areas more prosperous in many cities, and making fringe areas less prosperous.

On his statements on "preferences"...where to start. For one, many inner cities have DRAMATICALLY more expensive housing on a square foot basis compared to even fairly prosperous suburbs, meaning people are paying a premium to live in town.
