Saltworks

Architect's Newspaper just posted an op-ed piece I wrote on Saltworks, a proposal by smart-growth guru Peter Calthorpe to redevelop the salt flats adjoining Redwood Shores on the west side of San Francisco Bay. The gist: not a good idea, and a joke, really, to call it smart growth and to complain, as Calthorpe has, that no one can get higher-density redevelopment approved in areas that actually have transit and other infrastructure in place. Many beg to differ, including the San Francisco Chronicle in a recent editorial.
