On a longer horizon, his analysis points to a range of issues about land use, transportation, and coordination of public and private investments to which the design professions have an enormous contribution to make. Here design and policy find common ground.

He finished by saying that he believed he had met the limodriver's mother in a New Orleans house of prostitution.
