Film explores Florida's suburban sprawl

Click title for link - Special on PBS Channel 2 out of Miami tonight.  The type of development that is the focus of  this program is NOT what happened here, in Lake Worth during the recent "boom," - these are the large tracts of land in the interior of Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties that have been subdivided into large gated communities, for the most part.  This sort of development pattern is dependent on the private automobile, almost exclusively.  In-fill development here in Lake Worth would provide part of the solution to this regional and national problem.
