Dennis, LOL I agree we as LAs are both the victim and the villan in this. I have been struck by how we (the us public) are quick to try to fix the sympoms such as hybrid cars etc instead of looking at the real cause of enviromental issues such as sprawl. We all find ourselves speaking out of both sides of our mouths when we give lip service to urban renewal or even intelligent subdivision design and then encourage bad systems such as big box stores, and greater developemtn just to keep someone employed.
A peice of land adjoining my property was developed with money from a building supply house simply so he could sell more wood. I really have an issue with that. I saw it as pay back from the development “gods” for the designs I had done in the past before I knew better. LOL
We, as a group, can make a difference!
