The Obama administration is waging war against suburbia, according to author and futurist Joel Kotkin. Senator Scott Brown's recent victory in Massachusetts, Kotkin says, reflects a broader suburban revolt against an "urban-centric regime." The history and future of the American suburb is one of the subjects of Kotkin's new book, "The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050."
