It's beautiful, but fundamentally I've always found Wright's Usonian ideal - the US population living in rear-facing cottages in the forest - to be repulsive.

It's beautiful, but fundamentally I've always found Wright's Usonian ideal - the US population living in rear-facing cottages in the forest - to be repulsive. I like forests. That's why I think they should be protected, and the best way to protect them is to not smear the entire population across them like very fine jam and carve infinite roads through them to provide them with transportation and government services like garbage collection. The idea of presenting a bare facade to the street and turning the front entrance inward only makes this vision even more antisocial. The man could make beautiful things but the planning principles needed to provide that beauty were fundamentally ugly.
