Is FREEDOM being strangled one generation at a time?

I grew up in Fairfax VA - (home of the Depp/Heard trial). In the 80's, I would ride bikes with a buddy of mine into (about 2 miles away from his house) and all around the town of Reston because as a "planned community" they had great bike trails even back then. I doubt you could physically get to Reston today they way we did due to all the new development that has gone on in the last 35-40 years.
