A possible solution to the gas crisis?

This little video about Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia, my homeland, is the most encouraging news I've read for a long time about American urban planning. It is a necessary part of any long term solution to the energy crisis. Instead of fearing and resisting such developments one should remember how vibrant and livable Manhattan can be (note: I didn't say cheap).

And I can still remember vividly when Tysons was nothing but open farm land. Those days are gone with the wind, I am afraid.
