A friend of mine works at an engineering company and has shown this to her office. She also holds a masters degree in energy efficient buildings (!).
This documentary focuses on energy issues, but there is so much more to counteracting suburbia (anti-social issues, global warming, etc).
I've read some negative reviews out there claiming there is a "junk science" to this documentary, but these reviewers do not provide any of their own "science" to back up their claims. Where is their documentary, "The Bottomless Well"? It's just as Kunstler says in the interviews - people will be very resistant to the idea suburbia will end. People tend to get hostile when their whole lifestyle has been put into question, and The End of Suburbia does that with efficiency and style.
Intead of changing lifestyles, many suburb dwellers will simply force the status-quo, and become very hostile to those like EOS blowing the whistle. Sad.
