ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Author Benjamin Ross was the head of Maryland’s Action Committee for Transit during much of its long fight to build a light rail line outside Washington, D.C. After a 25-year battle, the Purple Line will begin construction next year.
In Dead End he traces how the ideal of a safe, green, orderly retreat for the middle class mutated into the McMansion- and strip mall-ridden suburbs of today. And he explores the historical, sociological and economic roots of suburban sprawl.
