• David Sucher on the Bo Ho Britain conference from May2003. And questioning the idea of designing a system towards a goal of achieving indirect effects.

• Steven Malanga questioning the whole economic model, and connects it to support from the BoBos.

Joel Kotkin http://www.metropolismag.com/html/content_0104/ob/ob01_0104.html criticizes Florida for failing to account for affordability and his sample: ''One of the worst aspects of the Florida book is that he takes the 1997--2000 period and extrapolates it out as this new paradigm.''
