Urban Scenery Enhancement Begins at Home

To the millions of Americans who complain that the urban area in which they reside is marred by unsightly architecture, poor urban planning, air and water and noise pollution, and chaotic as well as energy-wasteful urban sprawl, I would like to offer a polite response.

"On the property or properties that you yourself own, what have you done to make the front yard or front balcony or interior or exterior of your own residence, as attractive and energy-efficient and environmentally sound as possible?"

Urban revitalization and national revitalization begin at home.
