planned communities

Is the party over in Celebration?

There's a nice post up at Green Options about planned energy-efficient communities around the country. Check it out! But it got me to musing about whatever happened to the town of Celebration, Florida, which Disney built as a planned idyllic community in 1994. Turns out the town was quietly sold off to a developer, and is now apparently just another suburb.  It's interesting how our notions of what constitutes the "perfect town" have changed in so few years....
