"For generations," writes Mike Davis, "market-driven
urbanization has transgressed environmental common sense.
Historic wildfire corridors have been turned into view-lot
suburbs, wetland liquefaction zones into marinas, and
floodplains into industrial districts and housing tracts.
Monolithic public works have been substituted for regional
planning and a responsible land ethic. As a result, Southern
California has reaped flood, fire, and earthquake tragedies
that were as avoidable, as unnatural, as the beating of
Rodney King and the ensuing explosion in the streets."
