Is Suburbia and Exurbia Threatened By President Obama?

ObamaIt looks like the suburban lifestyle, and definitely the exurban families, are not in favor of the new President, Barack Obama. He has announced that he is against building sprawl, as he call suburbia, and will work to focus his efforts on the urban landscape.
