Last week, the Atlantic web site published an article about the brave Tea Party activists who are challenging the evil urban planners who are interfering with property rights and attempting to socially engineer American cities. Except, the article’s writer, Anthony Flint, seemed to think that was a bad thing.
Some idea of Flint can be gained from his claim that the Heritage Foundation recent published “a grave warning against ‘radical environmentalists,’ driven by, yes, the UN’s Agenda 21.” In fact, as the Antiplanner reported last week, the article in question said exactly the opposite: that Agenda 21 has little or nothing to do with the smart-growth plans being written by urban planners across the country. Apparently, Flint would not pass a high school reading comprehension test.
