Indeed it does get my blood boiling and indeed we do need to spread the word to all who will hear.

Fed Government control of zoning is coming your way - unless you act to stop it now. Where is the item about the Sierra Club really wanting 500 people per acre as their ultimate "land use" plan?????

(JH2 - if you see fit - can you send your King of Ping pings about this atrocity???) Thanks.

And what is the vision that animates the "Growing Smart" guidelines that served as a basis for the Senate bill? The Sierra Club last year conducted an exercise in which it attempted to define the optimum density for American cities. It came up with a figure of 500 families per acre. As economist Randal O'Toole of the Thoreau Institute has pointed out, this is roughly twice the density of the densest parts of Manhattan--on a par with the densest cities of Asia.

From the above article. Pretty scary.
