- renewiltord 3y agoSierra Club SF opposes local housing. California Environmental Quality Act advocates use it to block bike lanes. And in general, California environmentalists talk about visions for "green space" over such use. POSIWID, right? If CEQA has been most effectively used against bike lanes and housing, then CEQA's purpose is to oppose bike lanes and housing. But it's their job to know this, so I stay in my lane for the most part and cancelled my Terrapass etc. Only thing I kind of oppose is $4b/mi subway projects. I think we could use that more effectively. But otherwise, I'm happy to support the mainstream environmentalist view that geothermal and nuclear power is evil and that living stacked on top of each other like sardines is a bad thing for the environment. The second car is just a consequence of that. You can't expect my wife and me to live far away and bike 50 mi in independent directions. Listen, I'm in STEM, so I could not possibly comprehend or understand the nuances of the climate. I've got to trust the local experts and the Sierra Club et al. are local experts.
