Imagine the first scene of a movie. It is an aerial shot of a gated community filled with huge 4,000 plus square foot homes on cul-de-sacs.  The camera pans down to the gate and instead of seeing the uniformed guard you expected to see at the gate; gang bangers stand sentinel. Huge piles of trash litter the streets and are scavenged by street children on closer inspections you can see the homes are   falling apart.  Windows are shattered, sewage seeps into yards and rats infest the area.  The latest Sci-fi blockbuster? No, a vision of the future.

As the price of a gallon of gas soars and heating oil sky rockets fewer and fewer people will choose to make long commutes or attempt to heat enormous homes. Suburban flight is on its way.  Just as those who could fled our cities after World War II,  leaving the poor to take over urban mansions and cut them up into cold water flats , everyone who can afford to will soon run from our suburbs leaving the poor to cut up our McMansions and fend for themselves in subdivisions where access to goods and services will be less and less available.
