I think Dan is saying that, regarding open space, private entities don't always have the best interests of society at heart. And private entities don't have the best interests of human beings that love the outdoors, with some triathletes being a subset of that group.

Have you ever heard of the parable of "the tragedy of the commons"?

When I was ignorant, I was not a fan of US and calif. zoning and land use laws (I used to live in calif).

But, take just one trip to a non-tourist Mexican city of a decent size. You will come back and kiss every zoning law on the books ...

No kidding.
