The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday February 8, 2006 - 7 MORE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Urban sprawl opponent should set an example by moving to the city . Re: Quarry expansion threatens escarp ment, Oakville Beaver; Feb. 4 Robert Bateman expresses his concern for the preservation of the escarpment by suggesting that quarry development should be stopped. He indicates the root cause of the "prob lem" - probably correctly - as being urban intensification and more public transit". However, if one stops to think about Mr. Bateman, he does not seem to practice what he preaches. He had a house where "for 20 years, I looked out from my studio towards Rattlesnake Point on the escarpment, almost in sight of the proposed quarry expansion. So the rest of us mere mortals should be made to live in the urban jungle crammed into public transit, while artists like Mr. Bateman live in the countryside, painting in his studio, creating urban sprawl? Does Mr. Bateman after his 20 years in view of Rattlesnake Point move "into the centre of Toronto to live up to his ethics? No, he moves to Saltspring Island in the beautiful Gulf Islands. Good for you, Mr. Bateman - you do not want any of that horrible urban living, do you? But please do not be so hypocritical about everyone else having to live in the city so as not to use so much of the world's resources.
