message: Article says:
...Broadacre City was an urban or suburban development concept proposed by Frank Lloyd Wright late in his life. 
Correction: 
It was an entirely new and better way to build cities; it was designed to be compatible with and to establish and preserve the liberty and sovereignty of the individual as proposed in American Democracy where the Citizen is King; historically he saw as did Thomas Jefferson that cities were and continue to be built by rulers to control or enslave the people. His thinking on this began in Chicago at least by age 35 and was published at least by 1918 at age 45; he lived to be 90.
Article says:
... each U.S. family would be given a one acre (4,000 m²) plot of land from the federal lands reserves
Correction: 
BAC density is one acre per person to be purchased at fair market value by the individual while the Land Value Tax system would maintain a fair market and assure the good design of the city as it grows. The land in Broadacre City is alongside the railroad tracks in the old Federal land grant corridor originally given to private entrepreneurs to encourage construction of the railroad system in the US; however, the tracks were to be replaced by freeways for automobiles, trucks and busses.
Article says:
...There is a train station in Broadacre City
Correction: 
There is no train station. The railroad is replaced by freeways for automobiles, trucks and busses.
Article says:
...the apartment dwellers are expected to be a small minority
Correction: 
There is room enough for as many apartment buildings as the market demands. The 528 floor sky city designed for Chicago by Wright is included in BAC.
Article says:
...the pedestrian can exist safely only within the confines of the one acre (4,000 m²) plots 
Correction:
 
There is ample room for sidewalks for pedestrians along every street as much or more than any other city now has.
Article says:
...Some of the earlier garden city ideas of the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and the urban planner Ebenezer Howard had much in common with Broadacre city, save for the absence of the automobile, born much later. More recently, the development of the Edge city is like an unplanned, incomplete version of Broadacre city.
Correction:
 
American Democracy and its unique system of government, such as Thomas Jefferson's concept of cities, was the design criteria for BAC. 
The Edge City along an outer loop or beltway of the sprawling continuous growth of the big city denies the basic concept of decentralization advocated by Frank Lloyd Wright in his concept of a city compatible with the American system of democratic government.
Article says:
...The R. W. Lindholm Service Station in Cloquet, Minnesota shows some of Wright's ideas for Broadacre City.
Correction:
 
Building designs shown in the illustration of BAC are not relevant or essential to the planning concept of BAC, except as excellent examples of the term "good design" in individual buildings.
