The ‘Boburb’ vs. the Gated Community, Dr. Beau WestonNovember 9, 12:30-1:30 p.m., 132 Lutz Hall Some city neighborhoods are walkable, mixed-use, dense places, with coffeehouses, bookstores, arts venues, and liberals. This is the “boburb,” the natural home of the “bourgeois bohemians” – people with a bourgeois work ethic but bohemian cultural tastes. By contrast, far out in the suburbs are car-dependent, residential-only, spread-out gated communities where swim clubs, golf courses, megachurches, and conservative families abide. So why do some choose one way to live, and some the other? Additional Information: David Roelfs
