It's hard to actually understand why suburban growth was encouraged or why many urban sites require so much attention without understanding how these programs from decades ago caused the problems we need to confront today.

Sounds like our teacher has an "agenda" --teaching students to think rather than just memorizing "facts."  

Good work Bpat.
