Wired has a great article debunking various tenets of today’s environmentalism. I’m especially excited about the first charge: Live In Cities. I’m a big advocate of high density living and I look forward to San Francisco growing upward, skyline be damned.

There is an ongoing debate in SF about the skyline and new high-rises like One Rincon pushing poor residents out of the city. This puts “progressives” in a rather hilarious predicament, social justice or environmental pragmatism? Gotta love the Green meme.

An Integral approach to this problem would take into account the perspectives of all parties: Green social activists, Orange developers, Green environmentalists, Red/Blue residents of the neighborhoods being redeveloped. By taking each group’s concerns and knowledge into account, a workable and sustainable solution could reached. How nice!
