Quotes From the Film
"If I had a magic wand. . .that would be an entire region with an open-space network that was designed, designed as carefully as the sewer system, or the street system, or any building. It would be a connective tissue. It wouldn't just be that we bought this chunk, or we bought that chunk, or somebody hadn't used this piece of land. We would design it.""This area won't be developing for 20 years perhaps. But we're already planning the preserves and the interface with the neighborhoods that aren't here yet, with the hope of making that desert community, instead of just repeating that pattern development."
