James Howard Kuntsler website has been under attack for several weeks shutting down his popular Kuntsler.com site where he often talks about how the suburbs are horrible and blasts Americas disposable consumer lifestyle. Upon surfing to his illustrious website one is hit with a simple message from Kuntsler as "My website, Kunstler.com, has been under "Denial of Service" (DoS) attack for two weeks with especially aggressive tactics the last two days." The fact that aggressive hackers have been going after his site most likely tied to the development industrial complex of continual construction and build up shouldn't come as a surprise.
There is a lot of money in bad ugly sprawl and a guy like James Howard Kuntsler and the popularity he is gaining with his tremendous talks and observations about the horrible architecture and crappie imagery of suburbia is starting to take notice among writers,bloggers, and social commentators. Those that develop the most visualy awful aspects of the suburban landscape live in some of the largest McMansions and their version of layout and landscape for much of the nation triumphs for now but is under attack. This cowardly attack on James Kuntlers website is just another example of the powers trying to stifle thought and criticism of the costly habitat of exclusivity they promote to financially benefit themselves while putting costs on government to subsidize their unwisely and selfish outlook of living. The importance of walkable communities will not be hampered by a few hacking attacks and Kuntsler and his team is working feverishly to get his website back into service. There are two types of people in this country and that is those who realize the greatness of being outdoors and shopping and dinning in walkable communities and the other group is the shitheads wo prefer to hide and ride in a machine all day polluting the environment by their indifference to themselves, life, and future generations of umanity and all living things.
