Now, Bob, a brisk morning walk when all the UC co-eds are off to classes can be very scenic

Basically, the CA group wanted to fight the expansion of route us-95 in the northern part of the Vegas. I agreed with the main premise, that urban sprawl should be countered and development planned, but I was clueless what they really felt they would accomplish. While the development was stalled in court by the SC, people simply went head and were stalled on us-95 and surface roads; no development was avoided, but a lot of people in Vegas learned to hate the SC. Most of my friends in the club rank-and-file were woeful that this was all happening, and felt embarrassed. I walked away with the impression that it was just a muscle-flexing exercise for the upper echelon SC lawyers.
