‘Urban ugliness’

Dear Editor:

RE: Some camel, Nov. 18.

Referencing your editorial, you have hit the “proverbial” nail square on.

The only thing that I could add to your prose is a line from the novel True North by American author Jim Harrison that reads “…There is something very troubling when we allow ourselves to become proud of our destructiveness of a natural environment in the creation of a sprawl of urban ugliness.”
