Feng Shui

Another little something from my Wired newsletter:

No Parole
“The cops in Sausalito, California will continue working out of portable trailers near the waterfront, at least for now. That’s because the good citizens of this quaint little town on San Francisco Bay voted against building a $7.8 million police and fire complex to replace the 93-year-old police building destroyed in a 1995 flood. Money wasn’t the issue; a number of Sausalito residents could write a personal check for that much on their way to lunch. The issue was feng shui, the Chinese art of placing things to ensure a harmonious energy flow. Opponents argued that the facility was too large and out of character, and the voters agreed. “

Is it only me or does anybody else find this hilarious?

I wonder if the portable trailers are placed correctly (from a feng shui perspective).

Hmmm, that’s a very good question. Somebody should bring this to the residents’ attention… ;)
