Sorry, what I meant to write was...

Very nice. Well done.

I might lose the "lord economic growth" bit. Transit orient development (TOD) and livable walkable towns and cities have different growth patterns than sprawling suburban and exurban growth. But I think economic growth can exist in both environments, just that TOD / walkable towns have more sustainable growth given the limits of the natural world.

"sustainable growth" is an oxymoron.

Even if directed away from automobiles and their infrastructure, infinite growth means ever-faster depletion of resources.

I like it.  Short, sweet, fits on a bumper sticker.
