We should allow some development in our beautiful places +5

Best reasons to agree: +6
  1. Buildings don't always ruin a place's aesthetic beauty. 
  2. We shouldn't build if there is a delicate echo system, but it is OK if the echo system is strong. 
  3. It is better to build in beautiful places, so that people can enjoy them, than to build in productive farm land. 
  4. People who want to protect our beautiful places for future generations, should not try to keep them as prim-eval forest, but well cared for gardens. They can regulate the heck out of development, and only allow LEED certified, well thought out beautiful buildings. But a place's beauty should not automatically disqualify development, as long as the development is well thought out and managed, and public spaces are preserved for the poor to also enjoy the beauty. 
  5. Echo-tourism can be a sustainable way for us to fund wild-life habitat. 
  6. Our country needs, and will make money. We have choices. You can't make decisions in a vacuum. If we make more money from tourism, we won't have to make as much money from Natural Gas and Oil exploration. 
  1. We should have people live in our cities that we already have. We don't need to make new cities in our beautiful places.

      My mom when she and my dad came to visit on a bridge in Millennium Park. 


      Background: Me at The Bean, from a 2006 Chicago boat tour, that McDonalds Restaurant Design group took as a team building experience. The image supports this belief because: The bean is cool architecture because it allows you to see yourself in the City. It allows you to reinterprit your surroundings.
