Smart what?

The last couple people that I told I was coming to L.A. this week for a smart growth conference responded with, "Why would they hold a smart growth conference in L.A.?" It's a pretty good question, since L.A. is infamous for horrible pollution, inefficient transportation, and the completely unsustainable use of natural resources. The last time I visited this area a few years ago, the combination of horrible water and horrible air made me literally sick to my stomach.

But having just settled in at my hotel room in downtown L.A., I'll say that the sunset is pretty reflecting off all the glass buildings, and with the orange light in the sky you almost can't see the haze.
