[.ca] Get Urban!: The Complete Guide to City Living (ISBN 1931868670)

What a useful book!:
After driving through the decaying neighborhoods in D.C. today, I think every local politician and resident in the surrounding over-crowded suburbs should read this great book. Kyle Ezell tells you how to find the right neighborhood for your personality and teaches you the basic survival skills you will need to live in a city. Going by the wonderful writing in "Get Urban!," I bet Kyle Ezell is going to be a superstar one day.

We're Getting Urban:
Get Urban is the perfect book for us older folks with empty nests who are thinking about "getting urban." Our kids are gone and we are actually considering "moving on up" to a condo in downtown Nashville. The books speaks to us because we really do have to transform ourselves into a different mindset to become city dwellers. We haven't gotten urban yet, but have determined that we are "Postindustrial" urbanites. That's South of Broad (SoBo) in Downtown Nashville. Off we go, anxious, but excited. This was a very worthwhile book for us, especially because we've lived in a subdivision for forty years!

We got urban!:
We were pleased when we passed the "Getting Urban 101" minicourse (chapter 3) with flying colors. We recently moved from the southern suburbs. We chose the "postindustrial urbs" and are living in Chicago's South Loop development called Central Station. Reading your book is full of good advice and is helping us get even more urban! And we're saving a load of money not paying high gas prices!

Mallternatives, Schlepping, and Gentrification-- OH MY!:
You can read a pessimistic academic book if you want to, but if you love cities and want to see them prosper, Get Urban! is the mantra for the coming years. This book was informative, eclectic, and even funny at times. Richard Florida's review sums it up for me-- Get Urban! is nuanced and on-the-money for those of us who want to experience full-time city life. Loved it!

Gas prices getting you down? Then GET URBAN!:
This timely book has made me realize....why drive and pay 50 bucks to fill up your SUV when you can "schlepp?" Get Urban! shows people how to avoid high gas prices by "positioning yourself" around food, work, fun and friends. I've already "gotten urban" in Bella Vista, Philly and I laugh at all the folks who made the choice to put themselves so far away from everything out in the 'burbs. Perhaps they might choose to establish their own world in waiting neighborhoods in their city's downtown. After all, we all have choices. GET URBAN AND START SCHELPPING!
