The author in question?

Cory Doctorow is great, but Jeff Speck is the author of Walkable Cities, AFAIK Cory Doctorow hasn't written about urban planning (fiction I think). Unless I'm missing something.

Sorry, I meant the author who was waging a war against DRM and audiobook monopolies, who Acitta had linked to an article about. Not Walkabout Cities.

(By the way, I'm in Japan right now, and there is no street parking in cities.)
