Only the Wealthy Deserve to Enjoy Sprawl? 

American Way Magazine
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
by ALAN ROSENBERG


"Developers and tree huggers join hands as the upscale housing market increasingly demands the latest amenity — wide-open spaces."

The above quote is the lead "tease" for the article in American Way Magazine. Evidently, when the 'well-to-do' decide to sprawl, they get the endorsement of the Sierra Club, the National Growth Management Leadership Alliance, and the USGS. Suddenly developer's are 'not all bad' and “We need to acknowledge that making a profit is important, too,” says Elizabeth Humphrey, executive director of the NGLMA.

Where will the rest of America live? Are they to be prohibited from living in "wide-open spaces"? How will the 'Sustainable Development' supporters reconcile this contradiction?
