You're right. I've been having some fun with the Ol' Perfesser (he's a pretty easy target with all that "mystery of mission" claptrap)here and over at hallmarks, but perhaps he has a point with setting high goals. It continues to piss me off that the Powers That Be call anyone with a different vision anti-progress when in fact they are the ones holding us back from greatness.

Mr. Di Ianni (I'm not being snide when I address you formally, I just can't wrap my head around calling you 'Larry'), you don't need to name names in order to demonize your opposition, you have used inflammatory language on your blog to label anyone and everyone with a different vision as devious and obstructionist. I don't object to your right to do this, it's your blog and it's obvious that you're writing a polemic. I just object when you lecture others not to demonize their opposition. And I must confess to a bit of 'concern trolling' when I suggested that you undermine your credibility when you continue to argue that anyone who doesn't share your particular idea of development is anti-progress, but seriously, stop. Just stop.

Also, stop calling narrow business interests "market experts" as though they were objective market analysts. There are many analysts who find fault with the business model that demands a continuous supply of 'shovel-ready' land. Why do we have to treat the words of the 'experts' who support your views as though they were holy writ, while ignoring all evidence to the contrary?
