It amazes me: The same folks who want affordable housing for everyone, want to preseve green space, don't want people to drive long distances to work, and decry sprall. Are these folks so dumb that they fail to recoginze that requiring large lots to preserve open green space creates other problems like sprall, or do they justwant something to bitch about?

"...justwant something to bitch about?"

No! They are into rural cleansing!

They want you off "their" viewshed/watershed and back into the sardine packed urban areas, dependent on them as liberals who they totally believe has all the answers for you, including how you should vote to "sustain" their government programs.

This is "Sustainable Development," "Smart Growth" and fulfils the prime directive of the UN's "Agenda 21!" Humans should not be allowed to reproduce and certainly must stop economic development as that leads to wealth and too much individualism!!!

If you don't like my rant, you can blame "madfly" for pinging me and pulling my chain on a Sunday afternoon.

I think it is political correctness. It became one of Al Gore's pet projects when he was VP. He wants to force everyone back into the cities. I think he wanted to increase the tax base of the cities so they could tax everyone to support the social programs. Thats my take.

No these are NOT the same people. The are completely different groups of people. The people who promote single houses on large lots are not part of the Smart Growth and anti-sprawl movements. They are part of the status quo who have been designing our housing and land use for over 40 years.
