My 2016 predictions: 'New Urbanism' will run rampant: " ... areas that merge residences, shops, and green areas; they tout a neighborhood feel, hidden/underground parking lots, and an emphasis on walking instead of driving ..."

Treat others as you would like to be treated. Take time to enjoy life's small pleasures.
