"...the fact that no one has tried anything quite like it before won't stop the Sherman Lewis, [professor emeritus at California State University, East Bay] from launching an ambitious effort...He demonstrated blueprints of his 30-acre dream community of mostly three-story town homes, apartments, a grocery store and restaurant...Lewis is unfazed by the opposition, and his persistence is beginning to turn some skeptical civic leaders, such as City Councilman Bill Quirk, into enthusiastic advocates."
