I think it's mostly an exercise in missing the point, but Robert Steuteville seems to think that nodal development outside of cities is a great model. He doesn't actually address the question of whether it can work, which was my primary concern. I left a comment. We'll see if conversation breaks out, I guess.
Steuteville's blogging is also interesting reading, mostly focused on more traditional urban settings for urbanism.
