An anarcho-syndicalist offshoot of radical Buddhists, the group has declared that the current "vacant-lotness" is necessary to clarification of inner awareness, and that any planting there, sustainable or no, would be a tragedy. "This is one of the few undeveloped sites of Class 1 karmic balance left in the Bay area," said group spokesperson Shanti McErewhon.

In fact, in my opinion Urban Adamah has put the OTF crowd to shame, and further driven home the point that their actions are truly misguided.

Sounds perfectly workable to me.

Doves are well-known for their inability to build proper nests but there are others who struggle too. Instinct and ability do not always travel hand-in-hand.
