[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The faux "town centers" pale in comparison to any average new england village with a town green built on a solid grid network of streets.

It is so sad what we have come to "appreciate" with public gathering spaces in our society.

Don’t worry! In just 30 years they will seem authentic and in 100 years they will be the New England town…[/quote]

The New England “villages”, for the most part, are simply giant intersections for very busy and overcrowded highways. There is usually no walking around a village green unless you want to cross a 4 lane route 20 or something to get there.[/quote]

Uh huh.  That is exactly how I would describe e.g., Chatham, Concord, Lexington, Harvard, and Arlington, Massachusetts.  And Yarmouth, Brunswick, and Camden, Maine.  Hanover, NH.

Just big highways.

Yes, PP, what are you talking about?  Have you ever been to New England?  It's hard to think of a town that doesn't have a town center, complete with a town hall, library, local restaurants, stores, etc.  As for our "busy and overcrowded highways," I assume you mean 93 and 95, which definitely don't run through any town centers.
