My latest issue of Planetizen (planning newsletter on line) has a link to the New Times article on planning that was out the Thursday before last. It's a stupid article, essentially providing a lot of misinformation about the local planning process and supporting conspiracy theories indirectly. The Planetizen article labels it "Friday Funnies: the dark side of planning". No other comment is made. One SLO planner did write to NewTimes in response, and his was a measured, calm, thoughtful letter that ended by saying that journalists rule, not planners (the title of the article is "Planners Rule"). It irritates me that this article made a national planning newsletter, but the planners who read it will only be laughing at it.
