With a tip of the hat to Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book" (which he later admitted that it was embarrassing that a guy trying to take down the government had a best selling book), we encourage you to do the same with Jeff Speck's work on behalf of Cedar Rapids IA.
Only, you're not really "stealing it," because Jeff wants you to "copy" it. Really...a consultant wants you to copy their work so you don't waste money replicating the base tenets required to support your plan? Yep...that's Jeff.
Back story: Cedar Rapids lost an estimated 660,000 trees in a derecho two years ago...and Jeff was the guy that helped "Releaf" (get it?) the city. In a recent e-mail, Jeff said,"Nobody should ever again have to write a paragraph about how trees absorb stormwater, cause drivers to slow down, reduce crime, etc. It’s done." And Jeff did it.
Dude...you da man.
