Can we green the American Dream? On the next Your Call we speak with John Wasik, author of The Cul-de-Sac Syndrome: Turning Around the Unsustainable American Dream. Wasik, a personal finance columnist for Bloomberg, sees the sub-prime mortgage crisis as the first of a wave of problems we'll see as the dream suburb of the 1950's dissolves. Too far away, too expensive, too wasteful. What's next? Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 am. Is freedom and independence possible when you never own your own piece of land? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
