Laurence, thank you for that historic perspective. I agree that creating opportunities for people to appreciate the river can engender support for initiatives to protect it/restore it (or any river) in the long run.

Squalish, i certainly understand and accept the concepts/principals you described; meeting demand and reducing housing prices overall coupled with creating housing where the people already are (TOD). I know you can't answer this but why do we still have idiotic projects like the ICC and the plans for outer MoCo that DA has been writing about? Is the ghost of Spiro Agnew running things? (obscene corruption among the decision makers)

Polly, generally I absolutely support the perspectives expressed by this blog that the best place to create more housing is where infrastructure already exists and increasing access to mass transit for both intra- and intercity travel are among the best environmental policies we can support. I don't think this perspective is naive. It is mine afterall.
